Due to each map containing large spaces of blank edges the idea was to use multiple spatial processes to compress, clip, and tile thousands of highly detailed maps into one usable product on the web.

Users are now able to interact with these maps here and have the ability to search for an address, zoom/pan into highly detailed levels, and click an area to download the full map (either as a JPEG or GeoTIFF).

You can read more detail about project delivery in the accompanying blog.
