!!!Hueber, Blasius

Hueber, Blasius, b. Oberperfuss (Tyrol), Feb. 1, 1735, 
d. Itzing bei Innsbruck (Tyrol), April 4, 1814, land surveyor and 
farmer. Despite poor schooling, became an expert in land surveying. 
From 1765, co-operated with P.  Anich on a 20-page atlas of the Tyrol 
(1 : 103,888), which he completed, adding a survey map of 
the entire area (published in 1774 as a copper plate engraving). From 
1771-1774 he prepared a map of Vorarlberg (printed in 1783) and from 
1775-1777 a map of the province of Upper and Lower Swabia (printed in 
1782). His topographic representation technique was superior to that 
of Anich's.
