Here's a #TBT, just in time for the 4th of July tomorrow, of a USGS topographic mapping field camp in the early 1900s proudly showing their patriotism even when pitching tents in the middle of nowhere. Note the USGS "pick and hammer" flag flying below the United States flag. It was common practice to fly both flags in USGS field camps. Also note the "U.S." on the tents. Much of the USGS field gear at the time was obtained from army surplus.
For those of you planning to celebrate the 4th, have a safe and happy holiday!

One of two routinely based aboard the Royal Navy Antarctic Survey vessel HMS Endurance, Westland Lynx XZ238/EE434 carries Hi-viz dayglo markings for Antarctic operations.
At one point these machines carried a wet-film based Zeiss RMK-TOP15 FMC equipped 23cm square format camera for aerial photography and mapping purposes.

All New Scavenger Hunt - ANSH - Round 54 - Scavenger #6. An old or interesting map.
Couldn't find anything interesting anywhere so I reverted to this old children's encyclopaedia in the hopes of finding something. Just some information on how details are converted to a map. Hope you find it interesting!

Computers - they're everywhere these days. If you look closely you can see a ship just off our port bow. But if you looked out of the window you would see two ships. Interesting... Read the Torres del Paine trip report

MIT Media Lab "Understanding Networks" conference, Oct 12-13th, 2011.
Leica M9-P with 35mm Summilux Aspherical
Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student with the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) test out underwater robot on the Great Lakes.
The overall project goal is to develop a proof of concept that autonomous underwater vehicles can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.

Historically, aerial mapmaking has been handled by governments and businesses alone. Who else could afford to put satellites in orbit or hire planes for private flyovers?
The notion that aerial imagery is only for the rich and powerful is being turned on its ear by an inspired group of DIY cartographers who have pioneered the field of grassroots mapping. The concept is simple: for about $100 in materials you can shoot aerial imagery that is higher resolution than any standard public satellite imagery. Using incredibly simple balloon and kite contraptions, you can capture the images on demand whenever you want, as often as you want.
Jeffrey Warren of MIT's Media Lab came up with the basic concept, which he calls "Grassroots Mapping," last year while working on a land-rights dispute in Lima, Peru. Then the BP oil spill happened, and the benefits of this method of mapping became urgently clear. Working with the Lousiana Bucket Brigade during the media blackout when FAA regulations prevented aircraft from flying lower than 4,000 feet above sensitive areas of the spill, Warren and the Grassroots Mapping team flew balloons and kites and captured incredibly vivid images of the oil spill's impacts. Using simple online cartographic tools, the photos can be stitched together into bigger maps, like this one of the Lake Borgne wetlands east of New Orleans captured on June 11th of last year.
