The National Survey Authority (NSA) was established in
October 1984 with responsibilities for all survey activities in
the Sultanate of Oman and for assembling and maintaining
the Sultanate's geographic archives. NSA has a full range of map production capabilities, from
survey instruments for collecting details of natural and man-
made features on the ground, to a large format, four color
printing press for printing the final maps.
An increasing emphasis is being placed on computer assisted
techniques throughout the map making process as map
production technology is leading to greater automation of
routine manual processes. NSA is the sole authority for the production and supply of
topographic maps and related digital data (with exception
of small scale air charts) of the Sultanate of Oman. and it
is willing to advise on all matters regarding topographic
mapping of the Sultanate and will Endeavour to assist where
possible with in the bounds of current policy. Therefore; there
is always a demand for better mapping, for more up-to-date
maps and for maps at larger scales.
NSA is fully committed to provide these services within the
limits of the resources available to it. |

topographic surveys and mapping and to manage and maintain the
