REPORT OF COMMISSION VII
GVII-63
Scales of 1/30,000-1/10,000
f. Note location of farms in relation to transportation lines, drainage
features, surface configuration, and natural vegetation.
g. Outline areas of commercial and subsistence agriculture.
h. If commercial crop agriculture, determine probable number of major
crops and whether single-or multiple-cropping in growing season.
j. If commercial animal agriculture, determine type of specialty (e.g.,
meat, milk, wool).
k. Determine specific land uses in areas of extensive agriculture.
Scales larger than 1/10,000
l. Detemine specific crops in areas of intensive agriculture.
m. Determine specific uses of buildings in farmsteads (e.g., grain storage,
implement shed, animal barn).
n Determine specific use of rural agricultural buildings and structures not
in farmsteads (e.g., windmill, corral).

c. Mark locations of rural industry (e.g., hydroelectric plant, gravel pit,
mine)
d. Mark locations of rural institutions (e.g., hospital, prison, home for the

Scales larger than 1/10,000 8
m. Determine specific building use in villages
n. Identify the more significant functional parts of industries within and
outside of villages (e.g., power unit, processing buildings, storage of
finished product).
o. Identify use of rural commercial buildings (g above).
p. Determine specific characteristics of rural nonagricultural features.
8 The apparent necessity of very large-scale photos for rural analyses is likely to be an auto
matic indication of the need for more study of other source materials, for more field observation,
and perhaps large-scale mapping on a sample basis.
