Data Resources for Students

Many lists of datasets already exist (see this one). Here are some datasets that include geographic data, which I commonly find myself referring to students and others. Data don't just appear - you can read more about the projects and the people who put them together at the links.

• Historical County Boundaries
  The Newberry Library's Atlas of Historical County Boundaries
• Congressional District Maps
  Historical Congressional District Boundaries from UCLA
• Media Markets
  DMA regions from Nielsen
• Geographic Data
  A list of free GIS datasets (mostly natural world and physical geography)
