    Post 1956 U.S. Made Maps of Japan

    Hi Everyone

    I wasn't sure where best to put these so I thought I'd stick em in here.

    I have been assisting a researcher at work with some map scanning, and I thought that you guys may like to see them.

    These are U.S. drawn road network maps with relief detail, and the three maps show the entirity of Japan. These were scanned at 300dpi and have been resized to about a 3rd of the original size so I can load em on here.

    I have also been experimenting with a javascript magnifying tool on these maps and you can see the results at

    http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczjmm/magnify/japan.html

    If we come across more maps of interest I'll post some up here.

    *edit - just realised that only the southern Japan is a 1956 map, the other two are 1945*
