NEPAnode MapWarper

Description

This site is part of pilot effort at the US Department of Energy (DOE) - Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance to evaluate providing IT web services as a shared service, hosted on the cloud, and using only Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The site is an integrated component of the larger NEPAnode project but is a stand alone service. The site allows users to upload static map images with no geographic data so that they can be accurately referenced/rectified on an webmap. This site allows for the revitalizing of otherwise unusable/archived maps such as historic maps, site surveys, site plans, etc. turning them into usable geographic data which is subsequently made available as a KML file for use in Google Earth/Maps and as a Web Mapping Service (WMS) for using in web-based webmapping application such as NEPAnode or in desktop GIS software.
