The Honourable E. T. Kenney, Minister of Lands and Forests, takes pleasure in announcing that;

General Air Photo Cover for British Columbia
Was Completed in 1950

. . . This means that every farm,
school, and settlement; every road,
bridge, and railroad; and every lake,
river, and meadow, where not hidden
by tree cover, has been recorded on
map-like, vertical air photographs.
Some 200,000 of these photos, taken
from about 3 miles high in the sky,
were required to cover the total area
of British Columbia.

The ten-year program for preliminary
general air-photo cover of the Pro-
vince has been completed in half the
time scheduled! The work was done
by the R.C.A.F. and your Provincial
Surveys and Mapping Service.

The second phase of the program is
currently under way. This long-term
activity consists of taking low-altitude
air photographs of the most eco-
nomically-important areas in the
Province, to provide the detailed and
large-scale maps which are essential
for the full development of our re-
source assets through the second half
of the 20th century. In addition, re-
vision photography is a continuous
need to ensure up-to-date information
for map-making.

Columbia can be increased by use of these general air photographs, available from the
