Abstract

It is laid down in the Survey Rules of Northern Rhodesia that all areas to be alienated under freehold title or long lease must be surveyed by triangulation and that traverse methods must not be employed without the permission of the Commissioner for Surveys. This of course is all very well under normal text-book conditions, but there comes a time when triangulation is neither safe nor economical. Such conditions prevail in the Copperbelt districts of N. Rhodesia, where the bush is thick, the terrain more or less flat and the haze usually considerable. To make things a little more difficult the countryside is littered with anthills, both small and large; some as much as 30 feet high and 100 feet in circumference at the base. Traversing under these conditions can be very interesting and at times definitely backbreaking.
