Cartography: “The Mapmaking Process” pt1-3 1973 US Army

Really interesting video from 1973 produced by the US Army on the mapmaking process.

“EXPLAINS THE THEORY OF MAPMAKING, AND ILLUSTRATES THE METHODS AND TECHNIQUES USED TO PRODUCE MAPS; PLANNING, SURVEYING, COMPILING, AND REPRODUCTION.”

My favorite quote from this video is, “The survey team must PENETRATE the area being mapped.”
