In the field work the engineer uses extremely hard lead pencils in drawing the map. During the winter he is in Washington where he carefully inks in the map that he has made. Then the map is painstakingly engraved on copper by some of the most expert engravers in the world and then is printed from stone in three colors in the government lithographic plant.
 Using the ;nk map made by the field expert the engraver must reproduce this on copper. He cuts the most delicate lines and marks indicating streams, roads, trails, bridges and all. As a rule the engraver can reproduce at the rate of one square-one square inch of cop per plate surface-of area daily, but often it takes him two or three months to carve into copper the more difficult mountain areas. The engravers' task is even more laboriouJ than the engineers.
 No other documents in the United States are more carefully or zealousy

out in the field where the map is made. The engineers use plane tables and sur veying levels in their field work, these tools being productive of data which enable them to transfer the crooks and turns, ups and downs of the country to paper.
 Most of the maps are made on the scale of one mile to one inch which en- ables the topograp pher to put almost everything on the map which can be seen on the ground. The ordinary wall map which hangs in offices and libraries IS made on the scale of forty miles of land surface to one inch of map area.
 The experienced engineer will survey and map about one square mile of land area daily. On the map this large stretch of country will be represented but by only one square inch of surface. In that space every important physical, natural and artificial feature and land mark will be shown by means of the finest hairlines and lettering.

times hostile natives. They have \SssS to combat Jack Frost, at his " worst. While Alaska along the W coast will grow many of the crops, except corn, that are
 known in the states, there are
 other sections of everlasting SHOWS and almost perpetual blizzards.
 It is no easy matter to operate sur veying tools when the mercury registers anywhere from ten to fifty degrees be- reducing all the information to paper, including all the geographical peculiari- ties and data.
 Not all the map making is done on foot. Machines flying at attitudes of about 5000 feet, mapping airplanes equipped with specially contrived cam eras, soar back and forth with military precision, exposing film uniformly as they go, and making extraordinary sky high pictures of the panorama which appears on the ground far below
 But most of the work is done on the ground. Mountain peaks that have never been previously scaled, swamps which heretofore have been avoided as im- passable quagmires, deserts whose heat is so great that the camper can fry his eggs without fire, "bad lands" that are studiously avoided by tourists, trappers and campers-why it's all in the days work for the map making men.
 Out California way, where the native sons delight in the use of the superla- tive, you will hear about Mount Whit ney, the highest peak in the Golden State, which towers 14,501 feet above the sea level.
 "If you want to do some real climb ing, why just tackle old White,'" the Californians say. And they have reason to point with pride at their mountain, for this mountain is up, and "up" while simple as pie to spell is as hard as Luci- fer to accomplish when considered as Mount Whitney.
 California is state of contrasts. There is there a strip of country 100 miles in length which towers to the top of Mount Whitney at its highest point and sinks to the uttermost depths in Death Valley-276 feet below sea level at it's lowest spot. These engineers of the geological survey have their depend able data all gathered of this region for their mammoth map.
 In Alaska there is a still higher peak in Mount Mckinley of some 10000 feet in height. This is but another of the lofty pinnacles which sometimes make the going difficult for Uncle Sam's map men.
 It was more than three centuries ago when the first map making activities on this continent were begun. Captain John Smith, the famous English ex- plorer, began a mapping survey of the Chesapeake Bay. For several months he carried on, but then his attention be- came diverted to other lines incident to settling new country.
 For long time after that nothing was done toward making a reliable map. Hunters, traders and explorers told about the new lands all about to the
New Britain herald., 1926-10-05

any point on the great map will enable you to determine the altitude and topo- graphical surroundings of that locality.
 For mapping activities the country is divided into unit areas or quadrangles, each of which consists of 225 square miles of land and water surface It costs between $3,000 and SS,000 a quadran- gle to survey and map one of these areas, dependent on the ruggedness of topography and the degree of sette- ment.
 When completed these quadrangular maps are sold by Uncle Sam for ten cents apiece. If the same map were prepared and distributed by any private agency the price would have to be at least $5 copy. To the average mining, industrial or construction engineer, such map would easily be worth double that figure.
 Each map is an accurate picture of the section of country where it was made. All the data are collected right
New Britain herald., 1926-10-05

LUST because there are flying ma
 chimes and fast continental trains and speed boats that travel as rap idly as the cannon balls of the Civil War used to go through the air is no sign that travel over the United States is now devoid of dangerous adventure. At least there is plenty of that sort of thing for the men of the United States Geological Survey.
 These quiet talking and modest ap- bearing young men are travelling literally over every inch of the United States for the purpose of making monster map. This map will be the finest in the world and when completed were it dovetaied together it would be the largest map in the world covering more than one acre of space. It is a picture history of every hill, hollow, mountain, stream and other landmark in the country, accurately represented on the scale of one inch to the mile.
 Making such map means hardships and privations O. almost every sort and kind. These typographical engineers have enough peril and excitement to fill the pages of score or more "best sellers" But to them it is all part of the days work and they are very loath to admit that their work is at all dan- gerous.
 nnrjpc tho +or he y,bop 4rau cling for map making purposes is im- possible they work at their offices in Washington, at the Department of the Interior, putting in ink the marks that they have made in pencil while covering the inaccessible and little known parts of the nation.
 During the last year the men of the survey covered some 21 ,000 square miles in forty-four states. They found ev- tremely valuable deposits of potash in Texas and oil producing formations in Montana. Air route maps of more than 100000 square miles were made for the Army Air Service, many millions of acres of land were classified as to their mineral or non-mineral character; the flow of streams was measured at 1,700 gauging stations to determine their value for power, irrigation and other purposes; also chemical analyses were made of rocks, minerals and ores
 But speaking of danger, there was the mapping of the Grand Canyon, 253 miles of canyon. The examination of twenty two possible dam sites during the last year was also a task fraught with dan ger, but these engineers regarded it as "all in the days work" of scientific ex- ploration.
 The steppes and unexplored interiors of Alaska are covered by men of the survey. Such expeditions include cooks and helpers of various sorts. In that land still largely unknown these men blaze new trails, often camping 300 to 400 miles from the nearest village, store, house or white mans dwelling.
 In this great section of America where herds of reindeer and caribou supply the beef and milk-in this land of the mid night sun-these experts take their tools and mapping tables. They have to guard against wild animals and some-

 north, south, east and west, but there was no government big enough to begin the map ping of all the unknown ter ritory. It is only since the Civil War that real survey ing by the government has been carried on extensively.
 But nov, after almost a half century of effort, less than one-half of continental United States has been sur veyed and charted. If the work lags in the future as it has in the past because of lack of appropriations it will require at least another cen- tury to complete it,
 A topographic map is a unique thing inasmuch as it is crossed and crisscrossed with contour lines that show 2evation. These markings are invaluable to campers, hikers and prospectors and all those who have to cover the country. They not only portray the shapes of all hills, mountains and slopes, but they constitute a com plete dictionary of attitudes for all named and unnamed points in the United States.

 from height of five miles guarded from beginning to completion than are the maps which the engineers of the geological survey make. From the time that the engineer has spent a half dozen days work on his precious sheet he guards it as though it were as valuable as a pot of gold.
 He sleeps with it under his pillow; whenever he leaves camp he takes the map with him. He never risks fire, theft. or somebody else's carelessness. He alone makes himself responsible for the curiously enscribed sheets of paper which represent months of work, some of which IS very arduous and risky.
 In the Washington offices large fire proof safes are provided for the safe keeping of these scientific papers, which are roughly estimated to be worth from S5,000 to S6,000 apiece.
 As an extra precaution, after each map is inked in, it is photographed by the largest camera in the world, so that there is also another record of the work.
 Three thousand quadrangles, equiva- lent to 675,000 square miles of land and water surface, have already been sur veyed and distributed in map form. All these maps form part of the projected huge map of the United States.
 When the whole map of the nation is completed those interested will be able to refer to it to obtain complete data about the land at any place and at any time. It will be scientific achievement surpassing anything that has been done by any other nation.
 But probably few of the thousands of people consulting it for all kinds of in. formation will have any idea of the painstaking and often perilous labor that went into the making of it nor will the palnstaking engineers who did the job even get their names signed to it.
