Introduction

Overview of National Basic Scale Map Topographic Map Standards

Scale Classification Technical requirements Scope of application
1:250000 Digital vector/raster, paper color/monochrome Adopting Gauss-Krüger projection, the tile numbering is implemented in accordance with GB/T13989 Applicable to large-scale geographic information collection and analysis
1:50000 Digital vector/raster, paper color/monochrome Applicable to the compilation and updating of medium-scale topographic maps Serves regional planning and management
1:100000 Digital vector/raster, paper color/monochrome Adopts double standard parallels conformal conic projection Suitable for large-scale topographic survey and map publishing

Background of standard formulation and analysis of technological evolution

The standard was issued in 2016 and implemented in 2017, replacing the old version GB/T33181-2008. The background of its formulation is mainly based on:

  • Advances in surveying and mapping technology: the transition from analog to digital
  • Improvement in data accuracy: optimization of elevation benchmarks and coordinate systems
  • Changes in application requirements: diversified requirements brought about by the development of GIS technology

Classification and expression of topographic maps

According to Table 1, topographic maps are divided into three forms: digital vector, raster and paper. Digital vector is suitable for computer processing, raster is convenient for digital distribution, and paper map still has its unique practical value.

Detailed explanation of technical requirements

Geoditism: 2000 National Geodetic Coordinate System

Elevation datum: 1985 National Elevation datum

Projection method: - 1:250000 and 1:50000 topographic maps adopt Gauss-Krüger projection - 1:100000 topographic map adopts double standard parallel axis conformal conic projection

Frame numbering: In accordance with GB/T13989

Implementation suggestions

To ensure the effective implementation of the standard, it is recommended that:

  • Strengthen training: Improve the understanding and application ability of surveying and mapping personnel of the new standard
  • Improve equipment: Update technical equipment to meet high precision requirements
  • Establish a mechanism: Formulate quality inspection procedures and acceptance standards
  • Driving digital transformation: Accelerating the transition from paper maps to digital terrain maps
