58 INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING FOREST SURVEYS, ETC. 

 FOREST HOMESTEAD SURVEYS. 



These surveys will be made in the same manner as 

 those for ranger stations, but to avoid some confusion 

 and to distinguish them the following system of marks 

 should be used : 



Forest Service monuments, which are established for 

 homestead surveys, will be marked F S M H ^Wit- 

 nesses for these monuments will be marked , A , Cor- 



W 



ners will be marked with H and the number of the 

 corner, thus: ~ and a witness to the same corner will 



be ^p^ When a monument is also the initial point of 

 the survey, and is therefore also corner number 1 it 

 will bear both marks, thus: F S M H 



If a F S M is subsequently used as a tie for a forest 

 homestead survey its original marks will not be changed. 

 In like manner a F S M H may be used as a tie for a 

 ranger station or other subsequent survey without 

 changing the original marks. The field notes will, of 

 course, show unmistakably what tie was used. 



The type of cover of the land must- be clearly shown 

 on the map accompanying the reports. For this pur- 

 pose Forest Atlas Legend crayons or color tints will be 

 used. 



The establishment of corners will not be required 

 where it can be conclusively shown in a written report 

 that listing of the land should be denied. 



The surveyor should be thoroughly familiar with the 

 instructions under the act of June 11, 1906. Attention
