  • Surveying and Mapping Manual
    SURVEYING AND MAPPING MANUAL SUMMARY OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 GENERAL CHAPTER 2 GEODETIC SURVEYS CHAPTER 3 LAND SURVEYS CHAPTER 4 PHOTOGRAMMETRY CHAPTER 5 LOCATION SURVEYS CHAPTER 6 CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS CHAPTER 7 PROCUREMENT, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT CHAPTER 8 SAFETY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL FOREWORD The sophisticated surveying technology developed for the space programs opened the way to research and development on new surveying theory and practice. In 1971 the Minnesota Highway Department, now the Department of Transportation, engaged Professor Jesse E. Fant from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Minnesota, to assist the Department in the development of a “Modern Surveying System.” It was a unique and ambitious undertaking involving a parallel training and education program for 42 employees. The main goals were to implement major changes in surveying methods and standards; to conduct research in the use of modern surveying equipment; to develop automation techniques for department surveys; and to conduct an extensive training and education program for Central Office and District personnel. The program centered around four broad areas: control surveys, land surveys, plat preparation and research projects. The end result provided: A common language and method of operation established amount all surveying and mapping offices in the Department, a core of trained employees in each Department office to carry out these new methods, surveys which are highly accurate and reliable, and coordination of survey data into the process of Highway Design, Right of Way and Construction. This manual incorporates and sets forth accepted practices developed in the Surveying Program and the Interactive Graphics/Automated Drafting System.

    United States Department of Part 650 Agriculture Natural Engineering Field Handbook Resources Conservation Service Chapter 1 Surveying Chapter 1 Surveying Part 650 Engineering Field Handbook Issued October 2008 Cover illustration: Roman groma The early Roman surveyors used an instrument called the groma to lay out their cities and roads by right angles. The word “groma” is thought to have come from the root Greek word “gnome,” which is defined as the pointer of a sundial. The importance of turning right angles is shown in the layout of several cities in northern Italy, as well as North Africa. The land was subdi- vided into 2,400 Roman feet square. Each square was called a centuria. The centurias were crossed by road at right angles to each other. The roads that ran north-south were called cardines, and the roads that ran east-west were called decumani. The groma was also used to locate and place monumen- tation for property corners. Once the centurias were in place, maps were drawn on bronze tablets giving a physical representation of the centuria.
