This book was released on 1999 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent is to develop the users ability to interpret the landforms on any map or aerial photo. Assuming that the user has a basic understanding of topographic maps, aerial photographs, map symbols, contour lines, topographic profiles, and geologic cross-sections, questions are posed to foster a mental process in problem solving. Includes topographic maps that show the contour interval in feet as well as an appendix (Appendix A) of map name, location, scale, and contour interval for each exercise. Geologists, geology students and teachers focusing on Geomorphology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photogeology and Regional Mapping covers the geological interpretation of aerial photographs, the compilation of the interpretations on to maps, the use of aerial photographs in the field, and the use of aerial photography for the production of the final geological map. This book is organized into 10 chapters and starts with an introduction to the aerial photograph. The subsequent chapters deal with the properties of the aerial photograph, including the scale, parallax and their difference. These chapters also survey the process of stereoscopy, the stereoscopic vision, pseudoscopic vision, and setting up the aerial photographs. These topics are followed by discussions on interpretation of the aerial photographs encoded into a map. Other chapters describe the production of the photogeological map and field mapping with the use of aerial photographs. The last chapters consider the compilation of the encoded aerial photographs made into maps and the photogrammetry for geologists that explains the minor control plot, detail plotting, measurement of height differences using a stereometer. This book will be of value to geologists.

This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Interpretation of Topographic Maps The features shown on topographic maps may, for convenience, be classed in three groups (1) Water, including seas, lakes, ponds, rivers and other streams, canals, swamps, etc.; (2) relief, including mountains, hills, valleys, cliffs, etc.; (3) culture, i. E., works of man, such as towns, cities, roads, railroads, boundaries, etc. The conventional signs used for these features are grouped on P1. II. Variations appear in some maps of early dates. All water features are shown in blue, the smaller streams and canals in full blue lines, and the larger streams, lakes, and the sea by blue water lining. Certain streams, however, which flow during only a part of the year, their beds being dry at other times, are shown, not by full lines, but by lines of dots and dashes. Ponds which are dry during a part of the year are shown by oblique parallel lines. Salt-water marshes are shown by horizontal ruling interspersed with tufts of blue, and fresh-water marshes and swamps by blue tufts with broken horizontal lines. Relief is shown by contour lines in brown. Each contour passes through points which have the same altitude. One who follows a contour on the ground will go neither uphill nor downhill, but on a level. By the use of contours not only are the shapes of the plains, hills, and mountains shown, but also their elevations. The line of the seacoast itself is a contour line, the datum or zero of elevation being mean sea level. The contour line at, say, 20 feet above sea level is the line that would be the seacoast if the sea were to rise or the land to sink 20 feet. Such a line runs back up the valleys and forward around the points of hills and spurs. On a gentle slope this contour line is far from the present coast line; on a steep slope it is near the coast. Thus a succession of these contour lines far apart on the map indicates a gentle slope; if close together, a steep slope; and if the contours run together in one line, as if each were vertically under the one above it, they indicate a cliff. In many parts of the country are depressions or hollows with no outlets. The contours, of course, surround these, just as they surround hills. The small hollows known as sinks are usually indicated by hachures, or short dashes, on the inside of the curve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maps have power--they can instruct, make life easier, mislead, or even lie. This engaging text provides the tools to read, analyze, and use any kind of map and assess its strengths and weaknesses. Requiring no advanced math skills, the book presents basic concepts of symbolization, scale, coordinate systems, and projections. It gives students a deeper understanding of the types of maps they encounter every day, from turn-by-turn driving directions to the TV weather report. Readers also learn how to use multiple maps and imagery to analyze an area or region. The book includes 168 figures, among them 22 color plates; most of the figures can be downloaded as PowerPoint slides from the companion website. Appendices contain a glossary, recommended resources, a table of commonly used projections, and more.
Download or read book Operational Test of 70 Mm Format High Altitude Photography for Mapping written by Richard F. Gettys and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of limited operational tests to determine the potential of high altitude 70 mm. format aerial photography for mapping are presented. The evaluated system consisted of 11/2-in. focal length LA-26 and X70-2 cameras for basic vertical coverage, 3-1in. focal length LA-27 cameras for split vertical supplemental coverage, the X-PAX-1 multiplex reduction printer, and a wide-angle multiplex plotter. An F8U-1P aircraft was used, flying at an altitude of 42,000 ft. above sea leval. A topographic map was compiled by multiplex from two stereo models which partially covered the test area. The horizontal and vertical positions of 94 geodetic control points, and the elevations of 26 additional bench marks were also recorded on the compilation manuscript. The values established by multiplex were compared with the corresponding values as listed by the Army Map Service. A 75-mile multiplex cantilever control extension consisting of 15 stereo models was performed. Horizontal adjustment was made by electronic computer; and vertical adjustment by graphical techniques. The adjusted valves were compared with the scale horizontal coordinates and elevations obtained directly or interpolated from AMS 1:25,000 scale maps. (Author).
