Land and Survey Department - Saint Vincent

March 16 – In Saint Vincent I visited the Land and Survey Department with Osborne Browne. He uses Cadastral data that is overlayed on an orthophoto compression.

Saint Vincent has an interesting problem with collecting a complete ortho of the entire island because there is constant cloud cover in the mountainous, volcanic areas. They have the best possible composite of the entire island at this point.

I especially took interest in the orthophoto of the Tobago Cays as we traveled there the next day.

Osborne Browne showing me the government owned land parcels and the topographical terrain of the island.

The only aerial orthophoto views of the Tobago Cays and the Grenadines available to St. Vincent.
