Handbook contents

Content sources: the landing-page collections

This guide follows the same order and grouping as the landing page: 24 content cards and 1394 registered content items. Archives, datasets and grouped packs count as items; their internal articles, books, map features and individual pages are not separate cards.

Local links open saved content or browser tools on the Ark. Publisher links identify the original sources and require upstream internet. Saved editions are snapshots; a blocked publisher check does not mean the installed copy is missing. Long inventories expand below. Outstanding gaps are listed separately from installed material.

Generated from dataark.yaml and the dashboard card composition by tools/document_content_sources.py whenever the web site is deployed. See Manage Library for current installation and update state.

5. Maps & Navigation

U.S. and Caribbean offline street maps. Flood, parcel and topographic reference layers are Massachusetts-focused.

The street maps are not nautical charts or a routing service. The expandable list below identifies the major Caribbean island groups.

Open this collection

All 50 U.S. states

The nationwide street-map archive covers all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. This is one map dataset, not 50 separate downloads.

Caribbean island groups and destinations

The configured rectangular extraction spans longitude -89 to -58 and latitude 9 to 28, to zoom 15. It includes the following major island groups and adjoining coasts; this is a coverage overview, not an enumeration of every small island or a guarantee of feature completeness.

Bermuda is outside this extraction. The map viewer offers quick locations for Sint Maarten, USVI/BVI, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.

Scope and maintenance

This guide documents registered collections and linked tools. The Community board is a separate local service, outside the content-source card count. USA.gov is an online-only reference and is not presented as an installed collection. Unregistered files and every article/book inside a ZIM are outside this item-level inventory. The wider content-gap register records acquisition work; use Manage Library and the catalogue source logs for current status.
