| Summary: | (GIS) to produce logistic regression models of changing data consist of: public domain land records, federal depressed values of life expectancy at birth, resulting from distribution of timber and wet land. The census and fertility levels during middle stages of development; frontier development in a portion of central Illinois. The gravemarker data were combined to document the changes in growth rates; high sex ratios, particularly associated with infrastructure-based variables. The models indicate the locational preferences in terms of environment-versus patterns derived from these data indicate: rapid initial population censuses, and gravestone inscriptions. Land post-frontier out-migration roughly 20-25 years after initial processes: fertility, mortality, and migration. Demographic records were integrated with a geographic information system secondary in-migrations; evidence of slightly higher settlement. size and structure of populations along with demographic supreme importance of environmental aspects, particularly the the narrow age structure in the living population; and a Three data sources were utilized to investigate processes of |
