TOXMAP adds Native Lands layer, classroom exercises

07/26/2016 04:21 PM EDT

The TOXMAP beta now includes a Native Lands map layer that shows geographic areas of certain native populations, including American Indian Reservations and Off-Reservation Trust Lands, Alaska Native Village Statistical Areas, and Hawaiian Home Lands, as defined by the US Census. This layer can be toggled on and off via the Map Contents side panel (see the TOXMAP and Native American Populations page). Many of these areas can be zoomed to via the Zoom To Location window located on the toolbar.

A set of classroom exercises has been developed by Thomas R. Mueller, Ph.D., GISP Professor at the California University of Pennsylvania and his graduate students, and is available on the TOXMAP teachers' page (link to TOXMAP classic).
