On 8 April 1842 Generalkvartermesterstaben and the mapping part of the scientific organisation Det Kongelig Danske Videnskabernes Selskab was merged into Generalstabens Topografiske Afdeling. For a short period, 1856-1864, the department was under the Ministry of Trade, other than that, it was under the Ministry of War for the entire span of its life.

By law number 82, of 31 March 1928, it was merged with Den danske Gradmaaling, two institutions that did somewhat overlapping cartographic and topographic mapping of Denmark, to form Geodætisk Institut.

According to a resolution of 1831, the copyright on topographic maps produced by the Generalkvartermesterstaben or the Generalstabens Topografiske Afdeling never expires. This order is still valid according to the Danish copyright law (Ophavsretslovens §92).
