1949 YOKOHAMA CITY MAP
SCALE = 1:25,000 (see more area - further away)
View the above map first to familiarize yourself to the layout of the city. Visualize it divided into many overlapping sections. Note that the map has 13 rectangles on its surface which are indicated by very thin white lines. These rectangles denote sections of the map which if "clicked", will take you to another map showing just that section, and the scale will allow you a closer view with MUCH MORE DETAIL. If your equipment will not permit you to load the section maps by clicking on the "rectangles" you may use the sectionalized map table below.
