The Rapid Survey Maps are the first modern cartographical map series of Japan. These maps were surveyed in early Meiji Era. Especially, in the map series of the Kanto Plain, land use is shown by color. These maps provide valuable information about traditional landscapes, hazard assessment, biodiversity conservation, and agricultural land use in early modern Japan. We developed a Web-GIS System to publicize the Rapid Survey Maps of the Kanto Plain using FOSS4G. We named this system the Historical Agro-Environment Browsing System (HABS).
First, we mosaiced and georeferenced 900 maps of the Rapid Survey Maps. The HABS provides two ways to browse map data. One is a web-based interface, the other is a KMZ file for Google Earth. In the web-based interface, we use GeoServer as the GIS server and OpenLayers as the client. We also use GeoWebCache to improve performance. We use GDAL2Tiles to generate tile files and the KMZ file for Google Earth.
