Amid the misty Qinling Mountains, those country paths trodden by residents over the years—nameless, appearing and disappearing—are they going to be shown on the map?
The answer is yes. In the future, any country path wider than 1 meter and not shaded by trees will be displayed on the map.
On the 3rd, the “Shaanxi Province Qinling Region 1:10,000 Topographic Map Blank Area Mapping Project” was launched. This means that Shaanxi will spend three years creating a clear and detailed map of the Qinling Mountains.
Editor’s note: “1:10,000” means that 1 centimeter on the map equals 10,000 centimeters (i.e., 100 meters) in reality. This ratio is called the map scale, which is the ratio of the length of a line on the map to the corresponding length on the ground; the smaller the number after the colon, the clearer the map.
