It had absorbed the cartographic staff of the Kartographisches Institut. The Deutsche Heereskarte format sheets were also produced by that same regional survey office in Vienna.

Source map data: Karte der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie, Maßstab 1:25,000, based on the Aufnahmeblätter, recording sheets produced by the Militärgeographisches Institut of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy during the Franzisco-Josephinische Landesaufnahme, beginning in 1869. Reproductions were prepared for publication by its institutional successor, the Kartographisches Institut of the Republic of Austria, initially to aid surveyors of the Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen in resurveying efforts.
