I will not go this far back…….…… History of Surveying and Mapping in Saudi Arabia

• Started with Oil Related Surveys in 1st half of 20th Century

Became organized in 1950‘s with the establishment of • Aerial Survey Department Ministry of Petroleum • Followed by Military Surveying Department M.O.D.A. • And Surveying & Mapping Department of M.O.M.R.A.

• Established Geodetic Network and completed 1/50000 Scale Topographic Maps National Geodetic Network of Saudi Arabia (NGN)

700 - Main Points 1:50,000 Topographic Maps
