Army MOS 81C Cartography Publications Combined: Map Mathematics, Grid Construction, Plotting, Aerial Imagery, Color Separation, Map Overlays and Map Editing
Well over 600 total pages ... This subcourse consists of three lessons on basic mathematic skills required by the Cartographer. These lessons will enable you to perform basic map mathematics, to work in the metric system, to convert to and from the English system, and to use measuring scales. The skills and knowledges learned in this subcourse will enable you to easily master the tasks presented in later cartography subcourses. This is a selfpaced subcourse. This subcourse contains six lessons; each lesson explains, progressively, the step-by-step procedures for constructing a compilation base. These lessons will enable you to construct the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid at differe...

After the Map
Over the course of the twentieth century, there was a major shift in practices of mapping, as centuries-old methods of land surveying and print publication were incrementally displaced by electronic navigation systems. William Rankin argues that although this shift did not render traditional maps obsolete, it did revise the goals of the mapping sciences as a whole. Military cartographers and civilian agencies alike developed new techniques for tasks that exceeded the capabilities of paper, such as aiming long-range guns, navigating in featureless environments, regularizing air travel, or drilling for offshore oil. "After the Map "reveals the major conceptual ramifications of these and other changes and in doing so offers a new way of understanding the central political-geographic shift of the twentieth century. Seen first and foremost as affecting a transformation in the nature of "territory," the change from paper mapping to electronic systems is not a story about technological improvement or the wizardry of precision; instead, it is about the "kind" of geographic knowledge and therefore governance that can exist in the first place.

Glossary of the Mapping Sciences
The Glossary of Mapping Sciences, a joint publication of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), contains approximately 10,000 terms that cover the broad professional areas of surveying, mapping and remote sensing. Based on over 150 sources, this glossary west through an extensive review process that included individual experts from the related subject fields and a variety of U.S. federal agencies such as the U.S.Geological Survey. This comprehensive review process helped to ensure the accuracy of the document. The Glossary of Mapping Sciences will find widespread use throughout the related professions and serve as a vehicle to standardize the terminology of the mapping sciences.
