This procedural guide provides the Army Terrain Analyst with the methods and procedures to generate thematic, or factor, overlays, with supportive tables, for portraying approximately 20 built-up area elements. Retrieval of information from three basic sources (topographic maps, photography, and literature) is considered, and applied techniques for development of factor overlays are documented in a step-by-step sequence.

This guide is an instructional manual for the use by the U.S. Army Terrain Analyst when preparing the following factor overlays: slope, landform, and surface roughness. These overlays are constructed form the analysis of the combined data extracted from literature, topographic maps, and aerial/LANDSAT imagery. A catalog section includes the descriptions of photo pattern, topographic map, and surface roughness data elements for thirty-seven typical topographic/geologic forms. Additional topics include: Remote sensing, Military geographic information, Geology/Soils, Factor Mapping, Aerial Photography, and Photointerpretation.

This procedural guide provides the U.S. Army Terrain Analyst with the necessary step-by-step procedures to be used in generation of vegetation factor overlays and supportive data tables. Three potential sources of information on vegetation are considered: (1) military topographic maps, (2) literature, and (3) aerial imagery. Procedures are presented for each of 13 data elements that characterize vegetation of the geographic area of interest. The included appendixes provide the Terrain Analyst with additional reference information. (Author).
