Also a contour map was jointly used to delimit the lands capes. 2.2. Reconnaissance field survey A one day reconnaissance survey was condu cted to the farm area inorder to i aniilia- lize with the landscapes and thus access the soils occuring in different parts of the farm. During the survey the following factors were observed. 1. The area was found to be in accessi ble due to tall grass vegetation (elephant grass). These occupied the whole flood plain area. On the coastal plain, woodland with bushes and thorny tall trees were the main vegetation. The floodplain area also had some abandened water logged mars hes. 2. The vegetation being tall thorny trees and thick bushes, intensive ground clearing was necessary to enable the crew' to move freely through the farm. 3. All parts of the project area were inhabited by wild animals and reptiles thus an experienced game scout was needed to safeguard the team during the exercise 0 2.3. Aerialphoto Interpretation Physiographic analyses method (FA0, Goosen D.I967) was used in mapping the units. Photo elements which were considered most were relief drainage pattern, vegetation, and colourtone (grey tone). During field work the mapping units were further ins pected to check soils boundaries as well as the interpretation. The map unit bou ndaries were finaly transfered to a topo graphical map of scale 1:100,000 by hand. Two mainlandtypes were mapped from the photos. 1. The Alluvial flood plain - (a) The topography is generaly nearly level and flat but with local scars and meanders of ponded marshes. On the photographs the unit was charcterized by dark tone depicting of wetness on the ground (caused by flooding). The vegetation was chara cterised by tine texture of grass vegeta tion. 2. The Coastal plain (C) The topography is gently undulating to undulating with few defined inter mittent stream valleys which enter the alluvial flood ¡»lain. The woodland vegetation was visualized on photos by coarse light grey- t one . 2.4. Legend The legend reflects the kind of survey which has been made. As has been dismissed previously, the boundaries between mapping units were established by topographical features observed on the photographs and
