ABOUT THE
GREAT MIGRATION MAPVIEW
The
Great Migration Mapvew
contains 13 interactive layers that can be used to explore a) major
railroad transportation routes and destinations; b) US census
population change data; and c) US census economic and industrial
data. Specifically, the maps are intended to generate
observations, inferences, and questions about the changing distribution
of African American population in the US from 1900 to 1930, during the
first major wave of internal migration out of the rural South and into
the urban
North.
