Abstract

The Topographic Maps are from varying sources and dates, but the legends are very similar and the index numbers have remained the same. Scanned legends can be found in the same folder as the topomaps in jpeg format. All versions have been supplied. Scale is 1:100,000 and contour interval is 20 metres. Maps have been scanned and georeferenced to Geographic WGS84. Supplied to SWALIM by UNDP Somalia and RCMRD (Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development). 'British Maps' These were produced by stereo photography using aerial photography in the early 1970's. Originally printed by Bureau of Cartography, Ministry of Defense, Somalia Democratic Republic in the late 1970's. Reprinted by Canadian Forces Mapping and Charting Establishment from reprographic material of native Somalia mapping by the British Director General of Military Survey. Revisions were made by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Centre, Bethesda, MD, in cooperation with the Canadian Canadian Forces Mapping and Charting Establishment in the early 1990's. 'Russian Maps' are also included but no information is provided in the metadata as there is no translation available at present. They are in the minority in the SWALIM archive and have only been included where there are gaps in the British/Canadian maps. The legend is similar to the British/Canadian maps.
