City Planning Surveys. The first essential in any city planning survey is to secure adequate maps. Occasionally these are available when the city planner arrives on the ground. More often they are lacking and must be supplied. Professor W. M. Davis of Harvard University has emphasized the im- portance of maps which show, not only the topography, but the location of railways and highways, the placing of public utilities and all existing physical features. As applied to city planning Frederick La...w Olmsted has outlined the need for proper maps. He thought that there should be secured an accurate framework of reference points, including: "(i) the gradual systematic setting of street monuments through- out the city to serve as reference points for the definite determina- tion of street locations and for all public and private local sur- veys; (2) the accurate determination of the locations and eleva- tions of these and other monuments and bench marks in reference to a single general system of co-ordinates and in reference to 286 LAND PLANNING IN THE UNITED STATES the United States Government bench marks; and (3) as a means of accomplishing these ends an accurate geodetic triangulation of the district, supplemented by the necessary precise traverse work and precise leveling all fully checked and compensated for errors.
