Introduction
Surveying can be defined as “The art and science of performing distance, elevation, and direction measurements of the relative positions of natural and man-made features on the earth’s surface, and displaying this information in a graphical and/or numerical context”
The practice of surveying is as old as man’s cultural evolution. Surveying was practiced as far back as there was a need to establish boundary lines and to take measurements for building structures.
Eratosthenes is known as the “father of geography.” He was the head librarian of the ancient library of Alexandria
