Abstract
This chapter briefly reviews usage and basic principles of aerial photographs and some of the varieties of maps most widely used by sedimentologists. Aerial photographs have always been an essential aid to fieldwork, as a device for locating features and routes to get to the features of interest; in addition, many maps have been prepared by transferring information from transparent overlays onto base topographic maps. The variety of maps used by the sedimentologist is enormous, both for fieldwork and as final compilations to express ideas on the distribution or interpretation of only partially exposed sedimentary units.
