Abstract: 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).
