**^1^Plot Number refers to the number of locations (1 or 2) used for
each hexagon number. A separate sheet should be used for each
location.**

**Include the following information on the map. Use a legend that
indicates distances between obvious points on the map.**

(1) **Location of the site relative to some obvious and permanent
    marker.**

(2) **Road names and distances as needed.**

(3) **North arrow.**

(4) **Species codes and approximate location of plant groupings used for
    the ozone injury evaluations.**

(5) **Starting point**

(7) **Distance and direction to two major towns**

(8) **Gazetteer reference page if available.**

Return the original of this map to the corresponding Plot Folder so it
