These maps cost CHF 13.50 each (2004). 208 maps on this scale are published at regular intervals. The first map published on this scale was <i>1125 Chasseral</i>, in 1952. The last map published on this scale was <i>1292 Maggia</i>, in 1972. Since 1956, composites have been published, starting with <i>2501 St. Gallen</i>.

They took place in the north-eastern area and were led by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hans_Conrad_Finsler&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hans Conrad Finsler (page does not exist)">Hans Conrad Finsler</a>.

At New Year 1838, the Topographical Bureau (<i>Eidgenössisches Topographisches Bureau</i>) was founded in <a href="/wiki/Carouge" title="Carouge">Carouge</a>, <a href="/wiki/Geneve_(canton)" class="mw-redirect" title="Geneve (canton)">Geneve</a> by <a href="/wiki/Guillaume_Henri_Dufour" title="Guillaume Henri Dufour">Guillaume Henri Dufour</a>. This bureau published its first map the same year, the <i>Carte topographique du Canton de Genève</i>. Topographic surveys also started in the alpine regions of Switzerland. These had their first results in 1845, a year later than planned, when a map scaled 1:100.000 was published. This was the start of what are termed <i>Dufourkarten</i> (<i>Dufour's Maps</i>). The topographic survey finished in 1862. To honour <a href="/wiki/Guillaume_Henri_Dufour" title="Guillaume Henri Dufour">Dufour</a>, the Swiss government decided to rename the highest peak on the <i>Dufourkarten</i> from <i>Höchste Spitze</i> to <a href="/wiki/Dufourspitze" title="Dufourspitze">Dufourspitze</a>: it still carries that name today. In 1863, the <a href="/wiki/Schweizerische_Alpenclub" class="mw-redirect" title="Schweizerische Alpenclub">SAC</a> published a 1:50.000 map of the region <a href="/wiki/T%C3%B6di" title="Tödi">Tödi</a>, based on unpublished survey material. A year later, the last map of the <i>Dufourkarten</i> was published, and the following year, Dufour retired and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hermann_Siegfried&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hermann Siegfried (page does not exist)">Hermann Siegfried</a> became Chief of the Topographical Bureau. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Siegfriedkarten">Siegfriedkarten</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Swisstopo&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Siegfriedkarten"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1865, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Herman_Siegfried&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Herman Siegfried (page does not exist)">Herman Siegfried</a> becomes the Chief of the Topographical Bureau, and the bureau moves from <a href="/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a> to <a href="/wiki/Bern" title="Bern">Bern</a>. Over the next few years, a composite map is published of <a href="/wiki/Ticino" title="Ticino">Ticino</a>, soundings start to measure the depth of the major Swiss lakes, and a first map is published scaled 1:250.000. In 1868, a Federal Act is passed to enforce the continuation of the initial topographic surveys, as well as the publication of the results. This results in new topographical surveys in 1869 and the publication of the first 13 <i>Siegfriedkarten</i> (1:25.000 and 1:50.000) in 1870. In 1878, a 1:1.000.000 map is published, and the next year, the height of the <a href="/wiki/Pierre_du_Niton" class="mw-redirect" title="Pierre du Niton">Pierre du Niton</a> is measured to be 376.86 metre.

As of 1901, 581 sheets of the <i>Siegfriedkarten</i> have been published, with only a few individual more maps to come (there would be 604 maps in 1926). On old maps of the modern series, a reference to those maps can still be found: until the 1970s, the <i>Siegfriedkarte</i> was the best scale available for some areas of Switzerland, and therefore used by climbers and other <a href="/wiki/Alpinism" class="mw-redirect" title="Alpinism">alpinists</a>. The printing of the <i>Siegfriedkarten</i> would continue until 1952. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_century">New century</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Swisstopo&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: New century"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1887, the first maps with relief shading are published. In 1889, a photographic studio is appended to the bureau. In the years after 1894, a wall-map for schools is published, in response to a request from the parliament to do so. In 1898, the soundings of the major Swiss lakes are finished. In 1901, the bureau is moved into an independent division within the military, and the name <i>Eidgenössische Landestopographie</i> becomes customary, a name still used by some people until today, and a name which can be found on some older maps. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hermann_K%C3%BCmmerly&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hermann Kümmerly (page does not exist)">Hermann Kümmerly</a> publishes a relief wall-map for schools in the same year. In 1908, map trials are started to serve as a replacement for the <i>Dufourkarten</i>. Two years later, trials start to replace the <i>Siegfriedkarten</i>.

Because of the political situation in Europe, work was started on the 1:50.000 maps.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon. (June 2016)">clarification needed</span></a></i>]</sup> For this purpose, a 'M18d' <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Messerschmitt</a> was bought for aerial photography, the first aircraft owned by the <i>Eidgenössischie Landestopographie</i>. In 1938, the first 1:50.000 map was published: <i>263 Wildstrubel</i>. From 1939 to 1945, all sales were suspended because of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. In 1939, the <i>Eidgenössische Landestopographie</i> also procured its first vehicle. </p><p>The first 1:25:000 map, <i>1145 Bielersee</i>, was published in 1952. The last 1:25.000 map, <i>1292 Maggia</i>, was published in 1979. This marked the finish of the lowest-scale mapping of Switzerland. The first composite in this scale, <i>2501 St. Gallen</i>, was published in 1956. </p><p>The 1:50.000 series was completed in 1963 with <i>285 Domodossola</i>. With the publication of this map, the <i>Siegfriedkarten</i> have been entirely replaced. The first composite on this scale, <i>5001 Gotthard</i>, was published in 1954. </p><p>The 1:100.000 series started with <i>41 Col du Pillon</i> (1954), and finished with <i>47 Monte Rosa</i> in 1965. With this publication, the <i>Dufourkarten</i> have been entirely replaced. </p><p>The 1:200.000 series started with No. 3 in 1971 and finished with No. 4 in 1976. </p><p>The maps on the scales 1:500.000 and 1:1.000.000 were respectively first published in 1965 and 1994. With the publication of the latter map, the work required by the Federal Act of 1935 was finally finished. </p><p>Since 1951, different sorts of leisure maps have been published by the Federal Office of Topography. See above for a list of those. </p><p>In 1958, the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_coordinate_system" title="Swiss coordinate system">coordinate system</a> of the maps was changed. Before 1958, the centre of the coordinate system, <a href="/wiki/Bern" title="Bern">Bern</a>, had coordinates (0, 0). Subsequently, it has coordinates (600, 200). This was done so that any coordinate is either an x-coordinate or a y-coordinate: this prevents confusion about the order of the coordinates. </p><p>In 1968, the name officially became <i>Eidgenössische Landestopographie</i> instead of <i>Abteilung für Landestopographie</i>, although this had been common practice for decades. The English name remained unchanged (<i>Topographical Survey of Switzerland</i>). </p><p>In 1979, the <i>Eidgenössische Landestopographie</i> was renamed to the current name <i>Bundesamt für Landestopographie</i>. See above for the names in other languages. Since 2002, the international name <i>Swisstopo</i> has been used. This name had already been used since the website <span class="url"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.swisstopo.ch">www<wbr />.swisstopo<wbr />.ch</a></span> went online in 1997.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Peculiarities">Peculiarities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Swisstopo&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Peculiarities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some maps produced by Swisstopo scarcely have any Switzerland on it. This is especially true for the scales 1:100.000 and 1:50.000. As can be seen <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20050403125402/http://www.swisstopo.ch/images/maps/lk/100/mapview/45.jpg">here</a>, the map <i>45 Haute Savoie</i> only has a very little spot of Switzerland on it, in the extreme north-western corner. The same is true for the 1:50.000 map <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090316024620/http://www.swisstopo.ch/images/maps/lk/50/mapview/285.jpg">285 Domodossola</a>. In both cases, no 1:25.000 maps have been published for the corresponding part of the 1:50.000 map: at the 1:25.000 scale, some maps are a tiny bit larger than others, to be able to get all of Switzerland onto a map without the need of maps with less than 0.1% domestic territory on it. </p><p>Initially, the plan was to be more generous also for 1:25.000 maps. Thirty-one maps were once planned, most of which did not have a single km^2 Switzerland on it, that were never published. Some of them (<i>1158 Zeinisjoch</i>) were up to ten kilometers away from the Swiss border. On old Swiss maps, one can still see the <i>Blattübersicht</i> were those are signified as <i>planned maps</i>. </p><p>Some maps have been published in the past, but have been discontinued, also because they lack any part of Switzerland. <i>1035 Friedrichshafen</i> is an example of that. When one looks at the Mapsheet Index Northeast, there is no map to the east or to the north of <i>1055 Romanshorn</i>. However, when one then looks at the area of <i>1055 Romanshorn</i>, it can be seen that these maps do in fact exist, but do not have any Swiss land on the map. </p> <div class="mw-heading
