520 1 $a"Mapping a Northern Land describes the birth and development of remote sensing in mapping and surveying, especially valuable in Canada because of its many areas of difficult access, and of geographical information systems, a Canadian innovation.
520 8 $aFor those interested in maps themselves rather than the techniques of gathering the necessary information, there are chapters on the development of federal and provincial map and chart styles, the wealth of atlases, and the numerous thematic maps produced in Canada as well as on how this spatial information has been marketed. For the surveyor there are chapters on the contributions of geodesy, cadastral surveying, and engineering surveying. The photogrammetrist's interests are addressed by chapters on federal mapping, Canada's air survey industry, and photogrammetric research.
520 8 $aThere are also chapters on education, the naming of Canada's places and features, and Canada's international role in mapping and surveying."--BOOK JACKET.
