The Geographic Change Notes provide an online resource for selected geographic changes to incorporated places, census designated places, county subdivisions, counties and equivalent areas, and American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas as recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau, within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Note that most of the census designated places (CDPs) newly defined for the 2010 Census and changes affecting the 2010 CDPs are not included in the change notes. Use the Geographic Relationship File - 2010 to 2000 Places to determine changes affecting 2010 CDPs.
Also available are the Geography Notes and Errata from the 2010 Census. This document contains notes on changes to Boundary and Geographic Relationships, Names and Legal/Statistical Areas, FIPS Codes, FIPS Class Codes, and ANSI Codes to correct errors discovered after the 2010 Census.

Hey everyone, I just uploaded my HL/SL Geography notes (for the new 2019 syllabus) onto my blog for anyone to access for free! They include really detailed notes for each unit (and options B, C and D), as well as case study summary posters that I made. I know that this year has been really tough for everyone so I really hope that these resources are able to help! Please feel free to leave any questions and feedback directly on there too (:
I just passed C255, i have to say it is THE most boring class at WGU. It's so broad. I figured I would post my notes for people who hate this class as much as I did. I passed the class under two weeks.
Japan has been always conveniently separated from the outside world. However, its geography is at the same time problematic. Japan is a mountainous country, where it is difficult to farm or establish river trade. It has also very little natural resources. This is why it remains one of the biggest importers of oil and natural gas.
As I became more and more familar with the stories and the settings, Ibegan to wonder whether it was possible to work out the layout of Avonlea, FourWinds and Ingleside from the indications given in the text. As I continuedreading, I got into the habit of jotting down any text which made a referenceto the geography of the stories (how far it was from one place to another, andso on). I also noted any reference to dates and people's ages, to see if Icould work out the chronology.
In the end I was surprised how consistent the geography of the storiesseemed to be, bearing in mind that (for example) Avonlea must have been anamalgam of at least two 'real life' places. (The originals for Green Gables andthe Lake of Shining Waters are, I understand, in two completely differentplaces).
There 27 different geographic entities, in two basic categories, shown on this diagram. Some geography types have legal status and are not controlled by the Bureau, including counties, places (incorporated cities), legislative and school districts, etc. The Bureau is responsible for defining several others, such as census tracts, block groups, blocks, public use microdata areas, ZCTAs, etc.
One of the factors complicating census geography is the time dimension. Regions, divisions, and states are no problem, since they tend to stay put over time. However, there are sometimes small changes to counties. Since the 2000 census, we have had county changes in Alaska, Colorado, South Dakota, and Virginia. (See Substantial Changes to Counties and County Equivalent Entities: 1970-Present for details.)
The NAEP Basic level denotes partial mastery of the knowledge and skills fundamental for proficient work at each grade. Seventy-nine percent of fourth-graders, 74 percent of eighth-graders, and 70 percent of twelfth-graders performed at or above the Basic level in geography in 2010. The percentages of students at or above Basic in 2010 were higher than in 2001 and 1994 at grade 4, higher than in 1994 at grade 8, and not significantly different from the percentages in previous assessment years at grade 12.
The Proficient level represents solid academic performance. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter. Twenty-one percent of fourth-graders, 27 percent of eighth-graders, and 20 percent of twelfth-graders performed at or above the Proficient level on the 2010 geography assessment. At grades 4 and 8, the percentages of students at or above Proficient in 2010 were not significantly different from the percentages in 2001 and 1994. At grade 12, the percentage of students at or above Proficient was lower in 2010 than in earlier assessment years.
The Advanced level represents superior performance. Two percent of fourth-graders, 3 percent of eighth-graders, and 1 percent of twelfth-graders performed at the Advanced level on the 2010 geography assessment. The percentages of fourth- and eighth-graders at Advanced in 2010 were not significantly different from the percentages in 2001 but were lower than in 1994.
I Really dont have words to describe my sincer gratitude for the help you guys are doing for ppl like me who dont have much time in making notes or cant afford to join classes! Many Thanks from my bottom of hearts! Love you! God Bless you all!

Though as yet only sparsely settled, Alaska's vast area and great resources make it one of the most important possessions of the United States and promise its rapid development. During the years 1890 to 1900 the population increased from 32,052* to 63,592. The mineral output, which in 1890 was valued at less than $800,000, exceeded $9,000,000 in 1904, and the fisheries show a corresponding growth. This rapid development has attracted public attention and led to urgent demand for explorations, surveys, and other investigations. So actively has this work been pushed, both by public and private enterprise, that exact knowledge of the geography, geology, and mineral resources of the interior has made greater strides within the last eight years than during the preceding thirty-one years since the acquisition of Alaska. The facts regarding the geography and geology, scattered as they are through the many books and reports of this period, are not always readily accessible, and the time seems ripe to present them in a summarized form.
The larger geographic features of Alaska are now fairly well known, though the detailed surveys which are demanded by the development of many localities have hardly been begun. Preliminary surveys have been completed of all but three 8 of the larger rivers. The most important mountain ranges have been at least outlined (fig. 3). Only three large areas remain almost entirely unmapped: One in southwestern Alaska, between Cook Inlet and the lower Kuskokwim, and the others in northern Alaska, embracing the Arctic watershed east and west of the Colville River. Nearly all the surveys of the interior, however, have been of a preliminary and exploratory character, and to meet the requirements of exact geography must be followed by more detailed mensuration.
As a treatise on geography would hardly be complete without some discussion of the climate, meteorologic data have been compiled by Mr. Cleveland Abbe, jr., but the discussion of this does not pretend to be more than a cursory treatment of the subject.
Throughout this report attempt will be made to credit borrowed material to the source from which it is drawn. Where such matter has been obtained entirely from published reports there is no difficulty in so doing; but as regards investigators of the Geological Survey, with whom the writer has collaborated both in field and in office, the case is somewhat different, for it is not always possible to know whether this or that theory originated with the writer or with one of his colleagues. It will, then, perhaps suffice to state that this report could not have been prepared without the explorations and researches of the geologists, F. C. Schrader, Walter C. Mendenhall, Arthur J. Collier, J. E. Spurr, and Arthur C. Spencer; and the surveys of the topographers, T. G. Gerdine, D. C. Witherspoon, D. L. Reaburn, W. J. Peters, and E. C. Barnard. Each of these men, in the course of from two to six years of field work, has made important contributions to the knowledge of the geography and geology of Alaska, and not all of these results have yet been put in print. In the last season (1903) L. M. Prindle, C. W. Wright, Arthur Hollick, G. C. Martin, F. L. Hess, and Fred H. Moffit have carried on geologic work in Alaska, and the writer has made use of their work now in course of publication. He has also been fortunate in having access to the manuscript reports of Walter C. Mendenhall and F. C. Schrader on the Copper River basin, to which references will be made. The matter here presented should be credited in a measure to all of these investigators, but for many of the theories advanced the writer alone is responsible.
As this manuscript goes to press there has been opportunity to incorporate some of the results of the field work of 1904. As far as possible these have been embodied in the text, but in some instances it has been found advisable to add them only as footnotes. During the past summer F. E. and C. W. Wright extended the geologic reconnaissance in southeastern Alaska. In southwestern Alaska G. C. Martin and T. W. Stanton have determined the general Mesozoic section, while F. H. Moffit has made a reconnaissance of the northern part of the Kenai Peninsula. A. J. Collier has mapped the geology of the Cape Lisburne region, and L. M. Prindle and F. L. Hess have made contributions to the knowledge of the metamorphic terranes of the Yukon-Tanana district.
