These maps were, for their time, a technical innovation. They were the first maps based on geodetic triangulation, and took more than fifty years to complete. Four generations of the Cassini family were involved in their production. These maps, known as "Cassini Maps" or "Maps of the Academy," are still referenced by geographers, historians and genealogists. In 1808, Napoleon I decided to produce a map intended to be more accurate than that of Cassini. However, Napoleon demanded that the primary goal of the work was to produce battlefield maps. The triangulation for this new map began also from the Paris meridian arc or French meridian line, surveyed this time by Delambre and M‚chain. Work on this map took place between 1817 and 1866. During this period several different scales were tested, with the scale 1:80,000 being chosen. This became known as the "Geological Survey" map. The funding for this work was provided by the Department of War. The first work was done by the D‚p“t de la Guerre (as referenced on the index map) and later by the Geographical Service of the Army, whose first director General Fran‡ois Perrier and his successor General Bassot re-measured the French meridian arc. The variety of paper used on this example is noticeable and indicative of a map produced over a long period of time. (131)
