This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the introductory: 1. So important is the influence of "the lay of the land" upon military operations that every officer must thoroughly acquaint himself at the earliest practicable moment with the topography of the area within which his responsibilities lie. 2. A mere knowledge of the main roads, of the direction and distances to near-by towns is by no means sufficient. He must know where the plains are, where the hills rise, how the streams run. He must have a mental picture, a bird's-eye view, impressed on his brain of the main physical and military features of his territory. 3. The faculty for grasping the topography of an area as a whole is rarely a natural one. "To the beginner" in the study of topography "every hill is an isolated feature - the elevations and depressions of ground present to him nothing but irregularity and confusion." 4. As a matter of fact, there is a considerable degree of regularity and system in our present-day ground forms. Whatever may have been the irregularity and confusion of the original surface of the earth, practically all of the ground forms which we know to-day are the result of erosion. 5. It has been estimated that the average elevation of the land surface has been reduced 7,000 feet by erosion. Winds and waves, glaciers, chemical action, frost, and plant growth have all had their part in the breaking up and wearing down of the original rocks, but by far the larger portion of the ground farms which exist to-day have been carved out of the older formations by the action of running water. 6. Not all the water in heavy rains can seep into the soil; much of it runs off. At one point a little stream begins; as it flows downward another joins it; soon several unite into a fair-sized creek, which rushes along carrying its burden of soil into the main valley, whence the river may carry it on toward the sea. This simple process continued for ages has sufficed to carve out our deepest valleys. It is continuing to deepen them year by year, and more and more to wear down the ridges between the valleys. 7. If our remaining ground forms are the result of such a process, it is manifest that the drainage lines of an area, together with the ridge lines, form a system of master lines which, once traced out and studied, will give a grasp of the main features of the topography that can be had in no other way....

Download or read book A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources written by Eva H. Dodsworth and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary uses of traditional cartographic resources and modern GIS tools allow for the analysis and discovery of information across a wide spectrum of fields. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources navigates the numerous American and Canadian cartographic resources available in print and online, offering researchers, academics and students with information on how to locate and access the large variety of resources, new and old. Dozens of different cartographic materials are highlighted and summarized, along with lists of map libraries and geospatial centers, and related professional associations. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources consists of 18 chapters, two appendices, and a detailed index that includes place names, and libraries, structured in a manner consistent with most reference guides, including cartographic categories such as atlases, dictionaries, gazetteers, handbooks, maps, plans, GIS data and other related material. Almost all of the resources listed in this guide are categorized by geography down to the county level, making efficient work of the type of material required to meet the information needs of those interested in researching place-specific cartographic-related resources. Additionally, this guide will help those interested in not only developing a comprehensive collection in these subject areas, but get an understanding of what materials are being collected and housed in specific map libraries, geospatial centers and their related websites. Of particular value are the sections that offer directories of cartographic and GIS libraries, as well as comprehensive lists of geospatial datasets down to the county level. This volume combines the traditional and historical collections of cartography with the modern applications of GIS-based maps and geospatial datasets.
