Canada pioneers aerial surveying to map resources

Canada leads in serial surveying by using aerial methods for geodesic measurement and transportation. In 1929 the Royal Canadian Air Force and Department of Interior produced about 70 000 square miles of material photographs with 34 000 miles vertical photography and 46 000 miles oblique. Vertical photography maps rough terrain in detail while oblique imagery aids exploration, timber cruising, geology, and engineering.
