摘要：The Second Military Survey in the territories of the former Austrian HungarianMonarchy was done between 1806 and 1869. Its purpose was to remove the defects of the FirstMilitary Survey including gross position errors and cartographic representation defects of objects in maps, and to contribute to a well arranged map for the entire monarchy. In the territories where the cadastral survey was completed (Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, etc.) the outcomeswere exploited for the military survey. Reduced and generalised planimetric content from thecadastral maps and cadastral triangulation was used to outline the planimetric content of theSecond Military Survey. This assured an improved positional accuracy and better work economy. The territory of Bohemia was surveyed between 1842 and 1853 (267 handwritten coloursections 1:28 800), Moravia and Silesia between 1836 and 1840 (146 handwritten colour sections 1:28 800). Currently, the map originals are stored in the Vienna Military archive department of the Austrian State Archives.The aim of this contribution is to describe the methodology of altimetry and determination ofheights displayed on the Second Military Survey maps of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Theaccuracy of the elevations has been analysed. Attention is paid to the portrayal of altimetry onthe maps
