Study Notes
Surveying Uses and Applications
- Surveying is crucial for creating various maps each with specific uses.
- Different types of maps have different uses:
- Topographic maps illustrate the Earth's surface, including elevation and natural/human-made features.
- Cadastral maps show property boundaries, ownership, and land parcels.
- Engineering maps detail the physical environment for infrastructure planning.
- Military maps present geographic data for military operations.
Topographic Maps
- Show Earth's surface features, including elevation and structures.
- Used in land planning (urban areas, roads), environmental studies (ecology, forestry), flood control (drainage systems), and outdoor activities (hiking, climbing).
Cadastral Maps
- Display land boundaries, property ownership, and parcels.
- Support property ownership, land subdivisions, resolving disputes, and real estate/zoning.
Engineering Maps
- Provide detailed information for infrastructure design and planning.
- Essential for construction projects (roads, bridges, dams), utility planning (water, sewage, electricity), and creating blueprints & construction schematics.
Military Maps/Reconnaissance
- Offer detailed geographic data for military use.
- Used in strategic planning, navigation, combat mapping, and reconnaissance missions (gathering enemy information).
Summary
- Maps are specifically created for their use case, whether for land development, property management, or military operations.
- Accuracy and usability are paramount.
