The quick-mastery map, the scale of which was one to twenty thousand, was completed in seven years from 1880 A.D. (13 of Meiji) to 1886 A.D. (19 of Meiji).<br>Its surveying areas get to 176km from east to west, and 180km from south to west, centering around Tokyo Prefecture and 15, 511 square miles in its surveying areas, and is completed in 235 maps.<br>In this surveyworks, the numbers, of the army survey department of the general stuff office completed lots of topographical maps which is so detailed that there was no precedent for it, after making a survey of comparatively extensive regions by using the new western surveying instruments in a short time.<br>It is uncommon that they adopted the French system in a diagram of the the topographical map, and used two kinds of map sizes in a ream of map.<br>Anyhow, a group of these maps was achieved five years ago, and was the first successiful attempt in our country.<br>The temporary surveymap like the former was completed by the hand of army survey department in general stuff office, for six years from 1884 A.D. (22nd of Meiji). The surveying regions are through out the Metoropolitan District, centreing around Osaka, and get to 91km from east to west, and 110km from south to north, and also 4, 668 square miles in araea, they made 92 surveymaps in all. It is similar to the former that the longitude and latitude of the map are 6' and 4' each, and this survey map, too, does not adopt the result of the triangular serveying.<br>They apparently adopt the German system in the diagram of this topographical map, so that we can find out the gravity and toughness of the latter in contrast with the softness of the former, in the topographical description and the form of expression.<br>And also these topographical maps were the first significant ones having campleted about 70 years ago for all over the Metropolitan District.
