User:Halidecyphon/Cave surveying

Cave Surveying refers to several processes involved in creating graphical representations of caves which are similar to Maps. Some of the discipline are drawn from cartography and surveying. However, the three-dimensional quality of caves, as well as well as the logistical difficulties involved in their exploration, have led to the development of many specialized techniques which distinguish cave surveying from mapping on the surface.
