- Abstract
- China Rivers (UTF)CHGIS, 1820 is a line theme representing the major rivers of China for the year 1820. This dataset employs UTF encoding for Chinese characters.
- Purpose
- For educational, non-commercial purposes only. The China Historical Geographic Information System, CHGIS, project was launched in January 2001 to establish a database of populated places and historical administrative units for the period of Chinese history between 222 BCE and 1911 CE. CHGIS provides a base GIS platform for researchers to use in spatial analysis, temporal statistical modeling, and representation of selected historical units as digital maps.
