Excerpt from Topographic Maps and Sketch Mapping The demand for instruction in map reading and sketch mapping, brought about by the Great War, has led to the development of a course on this subject in many of our colleges and technical schools which have assisted in preparing men for the various officers' training camps. Outside of the purely military field our universities have in the past found it necessary to develop a course of this character for students in Geology and Physiography who are required to make extensive use of topographic maps. In recent years the development of the automobile and the camping habit has led to a more extensive use of maps by the general public, and a large number of people have "discovered" our own United States Geological Survey Maps, but are still unable to understand them completely and to make the fullest possible use of them. It will doubtless be necessary in the future for many educational institutions to continue instruction in this subject for students taking reserve officers and other military training courses in connection with their regular college work. Furthermore it seems probable that in many of our institutions the demand and necessity for such a course will lead to its inclusion as a regular academic study, given perhaps as a part of the instruction in Geology or Geography, or as a separate course under Civil Engineering. It is with this idea in view that this volume has been prepared. A large number of educated people have never learned to use topographic maps because it has been the general opinion that considerable mathematical knowledge was necessary. This is far from true.
