Abstract
Map Production Methods at the Directorate of Overseas Surveys Submitted by the Government Of The United Kingdom. The main purposes for which the Directorate of Overseas Surveys (DOS) was formed in 1946 was to provide basic mapping of developing countries. Although DOS undertakes some revision of its maps, the general principle is that, once the basic mapping has been supplied, the country concerned should be responsible for maintenance. With this in view, DOS has advised the strengthening of local departments in number of countries to enable them to carry out revision of the national map series and any additional special mapping projects.
