Abstract:

This guide is an instructional manual for the use by the U.S. Army Terrain Analyst when preparing the following factor overlays slope, landform, and surface roughness. These overlays are constructed form the analysis of the combined data extracted from literature, topographic maps, and aerialLANDSAT imagery. A catalog section includes the descriptions of photo pattern, topographic map, and surface roughness data elements for thirty-seven typical topographicgeologic forms. Additional topics include Remote sensing, Military geographic information, GeologySoils, Factor Mapping, Aerial Photography, and Photointerpretation.
