Map Making
Season Begun
(Special)— Further progress
toward the accurate mapping of
Alaska’s area will he made by
surveyors from the 1. S Coast
and Geodetic survey who are
now outfitting at Fairbanks in
preparation for the seasons wot k.
The woik will employ about
forty men in the field Personnel
and equipment will be transport
ed by trucks along the Richard
on highway but a great deal of
back-packing and “shanks
mare’’ travel will be necessary
to get to the stations which will
be located.
Triangulation is the process of
establishing a network of stations
or coiitrol points whose geo
graphical position and locations,
with respect to each other are
precisely determined. This netr
work, together with a network
of points whose exact heights a
bove sea level is measured, will
form the basis for accurate topo
graphic maps which will be made
later. This work is vital, not
only for military purposes, but
for general and geopogical sur
veying and prospecting.
In addition to the triangulation
and traverse work, another in
teresting scientific job, involving,
among other things, the use of a
“bent” telescope and a radio
time signal from far awTay An
napolis, Maryland, will be done
by the Coast and Geodetic sur
vey engineers. This wall be the
precise determination of longi
tude; latitude; and azimuth, or
true direction, at various points
in the area where the parties are
working.
