Simple and sustainable web development
summary
A static-first map viewer that removes map servers by converting historical map sheets into Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs and serving tiles via HTTP range requests. Uses OpenLayers for native tile handling and a few lightweight Svelte stores and context-wired components to instantiate the map, add base layers, and lazy-load additional map layers on pointer-enter. Shows multiple dated layers (1914, 1966, 1974, 1983) stitched georeferenced, runs entirely from static hosting, and materially cuts maintenance while keeping interactivity.
