He served in the Ceylon Survey from 1908 through 1930 with the exception of serving on the Western Front during World War I. During the war he made a name for himself by promoting cooperation between surveying and artillery. He was also particularly enthusiastic about printing and distributing updated maps and using aerial photography to update tactical maps. He became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in December 1918. Between 1930 and 1933 Salmon directed the Lands and Survey Departments in Cyprus but was named Director of the Palestine Survey at the end of 1932. He began work at the Survey of Palestine on March 27 1933 and began an initiative to begin a modern topographical mapping of Palestine. He was appointed Commissioner for Lands and Surveys of Palestine and as a member of the Advisory Council to the Government of Palestine in 1935. After a thirty-year career surveying sites around the Empire Salmon retired on July 13 1938. His cartographic work is part of the collection at the Royal Geographical Society. In 1937 then Commissioner of Lands and Surveys Lieutenant Colonel F. J. Salmon described the importance of the department's work with respect to allowing land purchases: "In the Ottoman days a title to a piece of land in Palestine was a very vague document. There was no survey recording shape area or position; the description was usually to say the least of it ambiguous and the extent which was the gauge for taxation was almost invariably falsified to save the pocket of the owner. Big blocks were and in areas where there has been no land settlement still are shared by large numbers of owners who have no defined boundaries and who often alter the position of their plots from year to year… To purchase land from a title owner or worse still from an occupier who had no title was a very uncertain business and often still is. The difficulty however is now being solved though very slowly by Land Settlement… The claims are recorded and examined by Palestinian Assistant Settlement Officers while cases of dispute are heard by British Land Settlement Officers… Even in areas that are not under Settlement a land-owner can apply for an authoritative registration of title on a modern survey but if there is a dispute this has to be settled by the Land Court a much slower more expensive and laborious proceeding than an investigation and judgment by a Settlement Officer".
