Sec. 21.116 Topographical data.
Determining the location and height above sea level of the antenna
site, the elevation or contour intervals shall be taken from United
States Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle Maps, United States
Army Corps of Engineers maps or Tennessee Valley Authority maps,
whichever is the latest, for all areas for which such maps are
available. If such maps are not published for the area in question,
the next best topographic information should be used. Topographic data
may sometimes be obtained from State and municipal agencies. Data from
Sectional Aeronautical Charts (including bench marks) or railroad
depot elevations and highway elevations from road maps may be used
where no better information is available. In cases where limited
topographic data is available, use may be made of an altimeter in a
car driven along roads extending generally radially from the
transmitter site. If it appears necessary, additional data may be
requested. United States Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle Maps
may be obtained from the Department of the Interior, Geological
Survey, Washington, DC 20242. Sectional Aeronautical Charts are
available from the Department of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Survey,
Washington, DC 20230.
