Hi Andrew:



Don’t know if this fits your need because there’s no datasets, but if your professor want’s urban change visuals, try free to view NETR Historic Aerials. http://www.historicaerials.com/



The areas in dark green have historic comparison options in aerial imagery from 1950 to 2013 and you can also compare topo overlays.

You could use the historic topos. The interface that USGS and Esri have put on them make the swipe between the, say, 1952 topo and the contemporary map dramatic:

And the time feature on Google Earth has an almost unbelievable 1950 image. Of course you said GIS, and as far as I know you still can’t get that open in a GIS.

ps: you can also license imagery from me: https://www.google.com/#q=las+vegas+site:http://mil.library.ucsb.edu/&start=0

www.airscalifornia.com<http://www.airscalifornia.com>, but then you are in the georeferencing business.

Subject: Looking for historical GIS data and imagery for Las Vegas area





Hi everyone,







I am a GIS Librarian up in Canada at the University of Toronto, and it has been awhile since i have worked with US GIS data.







I working with a Professor interested in urban change and mapping. Would anyone know of a urban change dataset for Las Vegas that could be shared for use in a teaching lab? I am just looking for a historical collection of aerial or sat images, census polygons, and perhaps some land use files.







Any suggestions would be welcome.







Many thanks,



Andrew
