| Abstract: | A section of an Apollo space photo relating to the Magadh area of Bihar state was monoscopically interpreted resulting in six delineations based upon tone and texture variations. Small scale aerial photographs were used for the preparation of soil map of a part of the area using a systematic air photointerpretation procedure; this served as a basis for defining the soil composition of four out of the six space photo analytical units. In respect of the remaining two units-soil information was obtained by reference to an existing small seale soil map of Bihar State. The data thus obtained have been used to prepare a small scale soil map of the selected section of the Apollo space photo. The soil map of the part of the space photo area that is based on support ph: to-interpretation has been found to have the quality and accuracy expected of very small scale soil maps. |
