finished with lettering of names and altitude figures for the more im-
portant lakes, hills etc., besides which indistinct trails, haul roads, streams
elc. were marked. In addition, all property boundary lines were marked
on the mosaics. This last work was troublesome and tedious and had to
be done by a special personnel, both indoors and in the field.
Lettering and drawing on the photos was done partly by hand, using
white Indian ink, but more usually by photographic method producing
the same white tone. The mosaic on scale 1: 20 000 was also reproduced to
scale 1:50 000, intended to provide a general view. Both foresters and
rangers were supplied with two sets of mosaics, one on each scale, one loose
and other fitted in a cover. Photos on scale 1: 10 000 are considered to be
awkward to view and look after, so that this scale has been used only for
a small region. For the record of land reclamation projects, some large scale
enlargements to scale 1: 5 000 have been employed. All employees, in order
to keep check on the photos, have general topographie maps of the region
on the scale 1: 100 000 or 1: 200 000, these serving as index maps for flight
strips and photos taken.
Roughly, the maps will be used by a forester in the following way:
I. A general view can be obtained by using one of the two mosaics,
besides which general topographie maps may be used.
2. Orientation in the forest with the aid of contact prints.
3. A draft of a project is based in the first place on general view maps
with subsequent detailed studies of contact prints by means of stereo-
scope and magnifying glass. As a rule there must also be an examina-
tion in the field. Drait of project is sketched on a plastic film, which
is placed on the photos.
