Experimental

This tool helps researchers and historical geographers process vast collections of old topographic maps from the USGS into usable geospatial data. You can input search criteria for historical maps (like location, scale, or time period) and get back aggregated, seamless layers of color and texture information, ready for analysis. It's designed for anyone needing to analyze long-term landscape changes or historical patterns using digitized maps.

No commits in the last 6 months.

Use this if you need to efficiently process and mosaic large numbers of historical USGS topographic maps into unified, gridded geospatial datasets for historical analysis or mapping projects.

Not ideal if you only need to view or access individual historical maps without complex aggregation or mosaicking into new gridded layers.
