IN I MAPPING
! SPEEDING UP PRODUCTION IS
ESSENTIAL AERONAUTICS
FAST GROWTH
—
The necessity for specialized
j aviation maps was promptly rec
ognized by pioneer pilots of the
air, and their production delegat
ed to the U. S. Coast and Geodet
ic Survey under the air commerce
act of 1926. In setting forth the
program of airway mapping, Cap
itain R. S. Patton, director of this
bureau, whose annual report was
recently received by the Gateway,
! stresses the need for more rapid
progress to keep pace with the
phenomenal growth of aviation.
He states that this work is be
ginning to show a trait common
to other branches of Survey op
erations—namely, that the bur
eau is confronted by a constant
ly growing demand, so that its
greatest possible progress falls
short of requirements. With the
present lorce me current pro
gram of airway mapping will re
quire many years for completion.
The immediate needs of aerial
navigation, and it is unthinkable
that they will not increase great
ly in the future, indicate that this
program should be completed in
the near future.
The first strip map was issued
June 27, 1927. Many more have
been issued since. Both the strip
and sectional maps are being
constructed to the scale of 1:500.
000, or about eight miles to the
inch. The strip map covers an
area 80 miles wide along the es
tablished airways, while sectional
maps for general flying will cov
er and area 3o north and south
and 4 o east and west. The lat
ter will embrace the entire Unit
ed States in a series of 82 maps
sand should further stimulate the
i employment of airplanes for pri
| vate use and the establishment
of landing fields off of estab
lished routes.
These maps specialized, for the
observer, in a rapidly moving
I plane is unable to study com
j plex details. He must be able to
orient himself very promptly and
for that reason only the relative
positions of prominent topograph
ic features along the route are
emphasised.
Railroad lines—one and two
tracks, and electric— are em
phasized, since they cover rather
| direct routes. Streams and lakes
| are indicated. Symbols have also
been standardized to readily
identify transmission lines, main
land secondary highways, miscel
laneous landing fields, flashing
and revolving beacons, and the
; lighting facilities at the various
i fields.
