Progress in cartography, EROS program

Abstract

During the past 7 years the Interior Department EROS (Earth Resources Observation Systems) program with NASA sponsorship has conducted cartographic research based on high altitude aerial and space photographs. The research has centered on the direct use of the image and its transformation into so-called photo or image maps. Today the cartographers of the Geological Survey have a real opportunity for making maps from data supplied by ERTS-1 which is dedicated to remote sensing of the earth.
