In this module we will digitize the Darati pass trail and surrounding settlements on the 4 geo-referenced maps (Survey, Olizane, Soviet and AMS maps) and compare the accuracy of digitized features on each map by cross-referencing with actual features on the satellite map.

The Darati pass is used by shepherds for their annual migration journey across t the Pir Panjal range between the Chamba and Chenab river (Pangi) valleys. Survey map in Image 1 below shows the Darati trail (red dots) from the last settlement of Daton towards the Pir Panjral ridgeline.
