The original strip line, type line, boundary traverse notes and GPS coordinates must be made available to the check cruisers upon request. There is a free MS-DOS executable file at this site that can be downloaded into your computer for future use. Use the calculated bearing and distance between the first and last GPS points to close the conventional portion of the traverse and determine the closing error. The closing error determined in Step 2 is used to determine if the traverse meets the 1 percent closure error requirement in Section 3.64. The map will provide neat and clear lines, lettering and numbers.
Plots used in the compilation are to be clearly indicated and numbered on the map.
Locations of baselines, boundary tie lines, and actual strip line location with direction of travel must be indicated, Contour lines are recommended and must be indicated in such a fashion that they are clearly legible and indicative of local topographic features. Physiographic features must be shown. Legal survey features must be shown. Forest and non-forest type boundaries must be clearly indicated. Status clearance boundaries and cutting boundaries must be shown.
