The form indicated on pages 64 and 65 of the "Manual of 

 Instructions for Survey of Public Lands" relative to objects 

 intersected by the line or in its vicinity was followed in writ- 

 ing up field notes. The field notes were very thorough and 

 were accompanied by a map of the area. The map always 

 showed in colored pencil the area applied for on a scale of 

 eight inches to the mile, besides topography, cover, trails, agri- 

 cultural land, and improvements. A small amount of the sur- 

 rounding country was sketched in. (See accompanying map.) 

 The "Examiners Report on Agricultural Homestead Applica- 

 tions" (Forest Service Form 110) was used.
