COMPASS SURVEY 
and sum them up to show the total distance between the points 
thus: — 
Distance from AtoB 36.22 
44.51 
77.08 80.73 wire fence 
24.40 
182.21. 
Complete notes for the survey will then take the following 
form:

Method of Graphic Record 
Another method of recording notes for simple surveys, and a 
very excellent one within limits, is to make a graphic sketch of the 
area under survey, and then to measure distances and angles and 
determine compass bearings on main lines. For example the ac- 
companying sketch, Figure 17, is made by inspection on the ground. 
After the sketch is made the distances are measured and entered as 
shown. Compass bearings are also read and entered. This sketch 
is then taken to the drafting room and correctly plotted to the 
desired scale.
