2 Identify and compare prominent features and objects common to both
the orthophoto map and the topographic map. Look for the following:
●● natural features such as rivers and landforms
●● infrastructure such as roads, airfields, railway lines and power lines
●● buildings such as houses, shopping centres and factories
●● land use such as industry and forestry.
Figure 27 GANSBAAI topographic map extract, showing corresponding points marked
in Figure 26
To orient the DIE KELDERS orthophoto map (Figure 26) with the
GANSBAAI topographic map (Figure 27), identify the following features
that appear on both maps:
a the ridge east of the trigonometrical beacon 7
b the Franskraal Dam
c the secondary road and the T-junction with the road leading to
Franskraal Dam.
Identify the exact boundaries of the orthophoto map.
Orienting the aerial photograph or orthophoto map with the topographic
map is important. They are of very little value as a map supplement if their
location and orientation are not known.
Activity 8 Interpret a colour aerial photograph
1 Study the extract from the Franschhoek aerial photograph in Figure A
below thoroughly.
2 Use your direct recognition and logical deduction skills to interpret the
photograph and identify the features labelled (a) to (j).
3 Give reasons for each of your answers.
