Study Notes
Surveying Uses and Applications
- Topographic Maps: Represent Earth's surface, showing landforms, elevation, and natural/man-made features. Used for land planning, environmental studies, flood control, and outdoor activities (navigation).
Cadastral Maps
- Cadastral Maps: Displays land boundaries, ownership, and parcels. Essential for property, legal, and administrative purposes. Used in property ownership, land registration, subdivisions, dispute resolution, and for real estate and zoning.
Engineering Maps
- Engineering Maps: Used for infrastructure design and planning, with detailed physical environment and technical specifications. Used in construction (roads, bridges, dams, buildings), utility planning (water, sewage, electricity), road/highway surveying, and creating blueprints/3D models.
Military Maps/Reconnaissance
- Military Maps: Provide detailed geographic data for military use, including terrain, roads, elevation, and obstacles. Used for strategic planning, troop movements, supply lines, navigation (reconnaissance, unknown/hostile areas), combat mapping, and reconnaissance missions.
Summary
- Each map type is crucial for different purposes, ensuring accuracy and usability in various fields.
