Stanford Geospatial CenterThis polygon shapefile is an index to the map series "十万分一圖カロリン諸島 カロリン諸島 -- 1:100,000 Karorin Shotō" (1943). Stanford University Libraries holds a large collection of Japanese military and imperial maps, referred to as gaihōzu, or "maps of outer lands." These maps were produced starting in the early Meiji (1868-1912) era and the end of World War II by the Land Survey Department of the General Staff Headquarters, the former Japanese Army. The Library is in the process of scanning and making available all of the maps in the collection.This layer provides an index map that can be used to locate individual scanned map sheets.Shapefilehttps://purl.stanford.edu/xp223jk3644engStanford Digital RepositoryPublicTopographic mapsIndex mapsGrids (Cartography)Military mapsMilitaryBoundaries1:100,000 Karorin Shotō, Maps Index 十万分一圖カロリン諸島 | カロリン諸島DatasetsCaroline Islands1943Stanford
