District Planning Map Series :
While preparing the proposals for the eighth plan, National Atlas &
Thematic Mapping Organisation proposed to prepare the district map series
for a number of districts of the country. It was decided that a single sheet
for each district should contain a detailed map at 1 : 250,000 scale showing
the basic topographic and infrastructural features of the concerned district.
The map was to include the following details as well :
a. Index map of the district
b. A representative photograph/picture showing socioeconomic and cultural
aspects
c. A small write-up indicating the geographical, historical, economic
aspects
d. Index maps (11 M) on
i) Physiography and Relief
ii) Slope
iii) Rocks and Minerals
iv) Soils
v) Irrigation and hydrology
vi) Population
vii) General land use and cropping pattern
viii) Climatic conditions
ix) Industry
x) Town map (district HQ)
This project provides a comprehensive picture of the development parameters
for possible science and technology and planning inputs. The maps of this
Mega Project should be useful for planners, development authorities, NGOs and
decision makers.
