Does anyone know where to get GIS layers of the Snow problem? Or data that
could be turned into GIS layers.

Dear WAPHGISers:

For fans of the history of mapping and disease, here are
two recent and interesting articles on John Snow's cholera maps:

McLeod, K.S. (2000) Our sense of Snow: the myth of John Snow in 
  medical geography.  Social Science and Medicine. 50, 923-935.

Brody, H., Rip, M.R., Vinten-Johansen, P., Paneth, N., and Rachman, S.
(2000). Map-making and myth-making in Broad Street:  the London
cholera epidemic, 1854.  Lancet, 356, 64-68.
