eolng on with the subject Of man
making, We come to the method Of
iocatlng on the map the different
principal landmarks, etc. Suppose
you are starting to draw a map of the
country along certain road. OFF to
the left Is high hill You want to
, put It on your map How are YOU to
3 uetermlne its exact location without
elaborate surveying Instruments?
FIRST draw your north and south
line as explained in the last lesson
e Ihen carefully place your ruler on
the paper so that 1t will be in exact
r " the direction of the road. Sight
along It to be sure 1t is accurately
placed and then draw an indefinite
: line along the ruler. Mark the spot
/, where you are standing. Now place
one end Of the ruler at this point on
. the line, and, using this end as a
+ pivot, move the ruler so that when
{ you sight along it. It Will be fin an ex-
act line from where you are standing
Y TO the top Of the hill, being careful
/, OF course to keep the line on the map
). representing the road precisely paral-
8 lei 70 the actual road. Now draw a
{, line along the ruler in this position.
I Go down the road counting your
strides as you 60, until you reach a
spot, say about a quarter Of mile
Z, away, suitable for another observa-
4 ton Of the hill top. Put your scale
/ on your map and mark your exact
/ location on the road Now take your
! ruler and make another sighting Al
= the hill top from this second position
= and draw a line along il. These two
a lines viii intersect of course and
y the point where they cross will show
the exact location of the hill top on
your map. This method is called "In-
tersection." Its accuracy depends on
! the care with which you pace off and
I mark on the map the base line, that

I points from which you sight at the
< object When this is done carefully.
1 It is a remarkably accurate method.
= When sighting. be sure that the north
y and south line Of the map coincide

I shown by your compass. Everything

. proper relative positions to each 9TH

IN ficient to merely indicate the top Z
on a hill on map.
~ We must show how high the hill
and whether the slope is steep one (
