General Description

From 1905 to 1946, under the British rule, all the surveying

works were undertaken by the Survey of India.

At the end of World War II, the British government separated

surveying works from Survey of India.

On 1st November 1946 Survey Department was established.

Old Geodetic Datum:

Indian Datum on

Everest 1830 ellipsoid

with Lambert conical

orthomorphic projection.

Topographic maps at

scales of (1 inch =1 mile,

1 inch =2 miles,

1 inch = 4 miles)

Maps were published in

1935-1944.

Organization

Survey Department is fully responsible for production of

National Topographic Maps and Ground Control Points (GCP)

establishment for the entire country.

Main Objectives of Survey Department:

- To produce National Topographic Maps

- To demarcate the national boundary

with neighboring countries

Establishment of Myanmar Datum 2000

The following factors are the main causes to reproduce the National

Topographic maps with UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) Projection

1) Most of the maps were produced last 70 years ago.

2) The old projection system of Myanmar, Lambert, was suitable only for the

nations whose East-West extent is longer than North-South extent.

3) The units used in old map were in British System and not suitable for the

modern mapping practice.

4) UTM Projection is widely accepted and used in the mapping world today.

Myanmar Datum 2000

Establishment of Transformation Parameters

Identification and selection of

(9) Primary Triangulation stations

whose Indian coordinates are

known and evenly distributed

over the area of country to form

a new primary horizontal network.

They are:-

1) Myitkyina (Maru bum)

2) Kale (Hkwe-u taung)

3) Meikhtila (Taungpila)

4) Sittwe (U-Gin taung)

5) Kengtung (Loi Hsu Khan)

6) Yangon (Ngweya taung)

7) Kyaikkami 1 (Amherst Base Line,

-near Htonman village)

8) Kyaikkami 2 (Kyaikkami)

9) Myeik ( Nattalin taung)
