A topographic draftsman was an occupational specialty during World War II in the Army. It was a person who went out ahead of the troops and would draw pictures of the terrain so that the troops and tanks and artillery would know what the terrain was like before advancing. Basically, they were scouts who checked things out ahead of the troop movements and drew pictures to give the command people an idea of what was out there. Now we have satellites to check out the terrain, etc., but such things weren't available in World War II.
