Generalstabens Topografiske Afdeling

Generalstabens Topografiske Afdeling (English: the General staff topographic department) was the cartographic, topographic and general maps department of the Danish army from 1842 to 1928.

It supplied both government and civilian organizations with accurate maps of Denmark.

Generalkvartermesterstaben was a department under the newly erected Generalstab of 1808, the first combined army command in Denmark.

On 8 April 1842 Generalkvartermesterstaben and the mapping part of the scientific organisation Det Kongelig Danske Videnskabernes Selskab was merged into Generalstabens Topografiske Afdeling.
