Abstract
Immediately following the earthquake and tsunami off the coast of northern Japan (March 2011), East View Cartographic (EVC) was approached by the Japan Map Center in Tokyo to make Japanese-English versions of eighteen 1:25,000 scale topographic maps over the affected area in and around Sendai, Japan. Relief workers from around the world needed print mapping in English. The 1:25,000 series is the largest scale series with full country coverage of Japan in georeferenced raster format (GeoTIFF).
