Sorry, I should have said: each of the JPEG tiles has an accompanying
`*.aux.xml` file.  The files were created under the hood by GDAL using
<https://github.com/geo-data/cesium-terrain-builder#ctb-tile>.

The on-disk tiling scheme conforms to
<http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Tile_Map_Service_Specification#global-mercator> with
the tile directory structure matching `{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg`.
