dc.description.abstractRecent developments in mapping equipment and techniques have greatly stream-lined mapping operations. Many countries, however, find it impossible to avail themselves of these new instruments and techniques because of a lack of funds or a scarcity of trained technical personnel. In many cases, the developing country has plans for the establishment of a competent national cartographic organization that will carry out a long-range mapping program Consideration of rapid mapping methods is the subject of this paper. While a complete catalog of expedient methods is not feasible, various suggestions are given as to procedures that can be used by a country to achieve maximum map data under existing conditions. A suggested basic guideline is if mapping is nonexistent. Make the best map that circumstances permit; if a poor map exists, make a better one. With effective planning, the preliminary map products can be useful in the later production of more sophisticated mapping. In many cases, the developing country has plans for the establishment of a competent national cartographic organization that will carry out a long-range mapping program.en
