THE SURVEY FRAMEWORK OF NIGERIA

Abstract

At the Conference of Empire Survey Officers held in London in 1931, an historical sketch was given of the progress of triangulation in Nigeria from its commencement to the end of the 1930 season, together with a brief summary of the proposed future programme. Since that date substantial progress has been made, and the recent completion of several important chains of triangulation and of the main precise traverse framework through the thickly forested regions of the Southern Provinces seems a convenient opportunity to place on record the present position.
