What was the main method of mapping in the US before 1940?

The main method of mapping in the US before 1940 was through the use of aerial photography, which provided detailed and accurate images of the Earth's surface from above. This method allowed cartographers to create maps with greater precision and detail compared to traditional methods like hand-drawn maps or surveys.


What are the 3 types of technology that used to make maps of earths features?

The three types of technology used to make maps of Earth's features are aerial photography, satellite imagery, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Aerial photography involves capturing images from airplanes or drones, satellite imagery uses data from satellites orbiting Earth, and GIS combines spatial data to create interactive maps.

What website could you go on for a satellite photo of your house?

Best website would be to use Google Maps or Bing Maps, but realize that the satellite imagery is on average 3 years old.Just type in an address from either and it will fly-to that location showing best available aerial or satellite images. With Google Maps you may need to change to the Satellite or Earth View if you're in Map view. Then you can enable Street View to see if high-resolution street-side photographs are available. In Bing you can enable Bird's Eye mode for a better angle of aerial photography.There are also alternatives to websites like Google Maps which include software like Google Earth.

5 differences between maps and aerial photographs?

Maps are two-dimensional representations of the Earth's surface, while aerial photographs are actual images taken from above. Maps can include various types of information such as roads, boundaries, and landmarks, while aerial photographs provide a visual representation of the landscape. Aerial photographs capture details such as vegetation, buildings, and terrain features more realistically than maps. Aerial photographs are usually taken from airplanes or satellites, while maps are created manually or digitally. Maps can be created with different projections and scales, while aerial photographs provide a more accurate depiction of the Earth's surface.
