A STUDY OF THE LAND TYPE.

Abstract

The document gives an historical study of the land type, a composite land unit, as developed and used in the 1920's and 1930's. Its purpose is to bring together the history and scattered literature of this concept. Reviews are included of the 'land system' as used in Australia and in England. Part of the report is a computer analysis of the digitalized land surface of one Michigan county. It employs ten transformations of the digitalized surface in an attempt to find transformations which will reasonably predict the land types that were made years ago. (Author)
