There has been a great improvement in the maps used for the<br />

implementation of farm planning over the past 30 years. Today<br />

reproductions of enlarged aerial photographs are used as the<br />

basis on which information on <strong>soil</strong>s, l<strong>and</strong> classes, cultivation<br />

areas, drainage <strong>and</strong> fences is depicted. While such<br />

photographic maps give useful additional detail which is more<br />

easily comprehended by l<strong>and</strong>holders, the essential features of<br />

l<strong>and</strong> use classes, water disposal systems <strong>and</strong> fences can be<br />

adequately displayed on simple maps as shown in this earlier<br />

example (1958) from <strong>South</strong> Australia:<br />
