Abstract
On the basis of the archives and writing records from the periodicals of that time, the author presents the work on geodetic survey of Split and its closer surroundings which started in 1908 and was proceeded up to the end of the First World War. Apart from the antique archaeological zone of Solin and Herceg Novi, it was the only area in the Austrian province Dalmatia of that time which got the detailed maps at large scale. The land registry plans at the scale of 1:2880 and 1:2904, made in the first half of the 19th century, were used in all other areas. The new maps served as documents for urban, construction, archaeological, tourist and other purposes. Although mapping had not been carried out completely, these rather extensive documents have a first class value today for the numerous scientific researches. Unfortunately, it was completely forgotten soon after it had been made. It is kept in Map Archives for Istria and Dalmatia in Split and it has never been used. One of the aims of this work is therefore to present the course of its beginnings and its contents so it could be used as the source of data for the history of geodesy, and furthermore, for the studying and the protection of building, heritage, as well as for other purposes.
