The author of the study deals with the first military mapping. This mapping has been persistent and under the influence of German scientific literature it was also called the mapping of Joseph I. or Joseph´ s mapping. The main reason is that (1780 – 1790) from cartographical and financial point of view it was brought to an end during the reign of Joseph I in1785. The author emphasises the fact that the first military mapping of Hungary (1769 – 1785) is essential and valuable from historical and geographic, however mainly from cartographical point of view for the Slovak history. It was for the first time that the complete land of Slovakia was mapped in a medium scale of 1: 28 800.The cartographical mapping was managed directly in the terrain by military officers –surveyors under the command of Austrian Army General Staff in Vienna. It was the Army General Staff that assigned not only lower ranked assistant technicians and mapmakers, but most of all the surveyors–engineers.
