Master the practical science of surveying with this authoritative volume on higher surveying.

This book covers the methods used to conduct topographic and hydrographic surveys, focusing on practical techniques a surveyor can apply in the field and in map construction.

The text is organized to group related methods and present them in a connected, usable way. Four parts guide the reader through control of the survey, filling in topographic details, hydrographic surveying and stream gauging, and the construction and finishing of maps. It emphasizes how different techniques relate to real surveying work and how to apply them without requiring specialized equipment.

Triangulation, base measurement, and precision leveling for accurate control
Plane-table methods, plane-table sheets, and field sketching for efficient topographic work
Photographic surveying principles and their role in rapid data collection
Techniques for plotting, symbol use, and map finishing to produce clear, usable maps

Ideal for professional surveyors, civil engineers, and students seeking a solid, field-proven reference to the higher techniques of surveying.
