Abstract

Abstract Historical. The first surveys in Australia, carried out expressly for the purpose of producing military maps, were commenced in 1908. This task was undertaken by militia officers of the Intelligence Corps. The maps produced were based on the cadastral or parish plans published by the Lands Departments of the various States. Contours and other topographical detail were added to the original plans, but as these were not based on an accurate framework the finished product was far from satisfactory.
