Abstract: A number of gas companies have taken a giant step in interactive graphics and computerized mapping. Atlanta Gas Light Company has taken a small first step to obtain a base map gridded to the geographical plane coordinate system for the State of Georgia. The production of planimetric maps from aerial photographs is perhaps elementary to many of you. However, the Georgia Coordinate Mapping Project is unique due to the fact that it is the first example of community cooperation in mapping and land data generation between utilities, city and State Department of Transportation. The Georgia Power Company, City of Atlanta, State Department of Transportation, Southern Hell Telephone Company and Atlanta Gas Light Company expressed interest in obtaining an accurate map of the Atlanta area with a common base. A committee was formed in 1973 to study such a project.
