Abstract
IN this book the authors set out to discuss the topographical map which has been produced especially for military purposes, and to treat particularly of the French General Staff map on the scale of 1: 80,000. An introduction deals with the general principles on which a survey is carried out, while five chapters are devoted to the representation of detail and relief, and to some information relating to the French 1: 80,000 map.
