Summary:
The detailed map of Low Isles reef made using a combination of theodolite triangulation and plane-table sketching to triangulated networks of features with the first aerial photographs of Low Isles, which were flown in September 1928 at a scale of 1:2400 to fill in details of reef surface cover. Swathes of shingle, boulders, sand and mud were traced on the reef flat, while features such as the outer boundary of the reef perimeter, channels and shingle ramparts were fixed by triangulation. This is the earliest known record of ground observations being cross-referenced against aerial photography for the purpose of reef mapping.
