ABSTRACT
The initial survey activities took place in 1920-1927, from the time that the government’s cartographic branch was established until the institution of reforms in the system of land settlement. It was a time of searching for suitable working methods, in both the professional and the administrative fields. Most of the work of the survey parties was devoted to the cadastral survey. It was to occupy the Survey Department for many years, and has not been completed to this day. At the same time, the department was requested to take part in special projects that required preparatory mapping work, as is to be expected of a country’s Survey Department.
