Engineer Troops Survey Liberty for New Maps
BAGHDAD, Iraq – A temporary increase in the number of Soldiers moving through Camp Liberty is expected as the U.S. military transitions to a responsible drawdown in Iraq.This increase means plans to improve facilities and security; an impossible task without updated maps.
Troops of the 621st Survey and Design Team, 101st Engineer Battalion, 16th Eng. Brigade, surveyed Camp Liberty, Nov. 5, to provide leaders and Soldiers with updated maps.
From North Carolina, the National Guard team includes two survey teams and one drafting team who are responsible for architectural design, land survey, and cartography.
“[The 621st] provides topographical data in our areas of responsibilities and provides input for better utilization of existing structures,” said Staff Sgt. Glenn Cornett, of Hazard, Ky.

Brass Surveying Theodolite 8″
Product Description
This reproduction 8″ brass surveying Theodolite is similar to those used in the mapping of the National Parks of America. This beautiful display piece measures approximately 8″ tall when the telescope is parallel to the ground.
Surveyors would align the compass and use this item to measure both vertical and horizontal angles for extremely accurate measurements while developing their topographical maps. The telegraphic sights equipped on the alidade would allow the surveyor a truer line with more precise dimensions then the previous models of this type.
This piece will make a great addition to any collection and would make a great Fathers Day of Mothers Day gift, too.
