LAND SURVEY OF DURHAM 



others could be taken out and placed beside it. The only thing which 

 this nuip did not give was a picture of the whole town at once, and this 

 was accomplished by the smaller scale map which is reprinted as 

 Figure 2. In this town the map sheets were drawn with the index 

 point at the bench mark opposite the Durham railroad station. Lines 

 were drawn north, south, east, and west from this point in checker- 

 board fashion to form the edges of the sheets. It would be better to 

 base them on latitude and longitude in another survey. 



A quarter of one sheet of the map was drawn to scale and is shown 

 in Fig. 1. While this sheet is not colored, and is only a small area, it 

 illustrates the scale and the type of map made. 



This map is accurate enough for all general purposes, and copies of 

 individual farms made from it can be used to calculate acreage, show 

 the layout of the farms, and the location of fences. On it a record can 

 be kept of which fields were cultivated, what was grown, and what was 

 cut from the woodlots, for example. Other uses would suggest them- 

 selves.
