Description
Some sheets of this topographic map series identify Rikets allmänna kartverk, established in 1894, as the cartographer and issuing body. In 1937 it became a civilian agency and took on the responsibility for survey and cartographic work. Printing and distribution continued to be in the hands of Generalstabens litografiska anstalt (GLA) until 1963. Generalstabskartan is the informal name for the public topographic maps published in Sweden until 1979.
