23.2. Pictomaps
a. A pictomap is a map on which photographic imagery of a standard photomosaic has been con-
verted into interpretable colors and symbols.
b. The components of the pictomap consist of three basic color tones photographically extracted
from a photomosaic, masked and drafted symbols, and names data. At the large scales used for city
maps (1:5,000 to 1:12,500), the light tones and shadows on the photographic image serve to delineate
many of the map features. At scales of 1:25,000 and 1:50,000, however, most planimetric features are
shown by drafted symbols, printed in specified colors.
c. Tones. The three basic color tones used for area features are as follows:
(1) Landtone, a buff-like color tone which represents uncovered earth.
(2) Vegetone, green tones which represent densities of vegetation.
(3) Shadowtone, a black-green tone which represents shades and shadows.
d. Symbols. The following pictomap symbols are different from the standard large-scale symbols
shown in figures 1 through 242:
