Topographic maps and other kinds of maps are required to complete several of the sections. Print this page out if you find these tips to be helpful. For an example of a completed form see the Bucket Mine Site 36So272 . SITE NAME - Select a name that can easily be associated with the site such as a historical or physical landmark, the name of a farm, or the surname of the property owner. Historical and physical landmarks are preferred.
Common surnames have the potential for being duplicated at other sites, thus causing confusion.
TYPE OF SITE - river bank, hilltop, rockshelter, prehistoric village, historic industrial, historic homestead, etc. Any general description will do. Local Ag Extension offices often have the latest edition available for purchase. The name of the topo is printed on the upper right and lower right boarder of the map.
