APPENDIX 215 



From the table the length of the side AB is 527 feet. Using a 

 ruler divided off into inches and tenths of inches and consider- 

 ing each inch on the ruler to be 100 feet, lay off on the line 

 Ax extended, 5.27 inches. Mark this point B. The line AB 

 will now represent the first side of the woodlot. 



Through the point B as before draw a north and south line 

 and an east and west line and proceed to map the side BC 

 of the woodlot. From the table the direction as found by the 

 compass is 348 degrees and the distance 450 feet. Proceeding 

 as before from north to east is 90 degrees, from north to 

 south is 180 degrees and from north around to west is 270 

 degrees. To find 348 degrees it will be necessary to pass 78 

 degrees beyond the west toward the north. Place the pro- 

 tractor so that it will lie between the north and west points 

 as shown in the diagram and count off 78 degrees from the 

 west point and mark the point on the paper x. The line BC 

 will pass through this point x from the point B. Now with 

 the ruler as before, allowing 100 feet to the inch, measure off 

 4.5 inches for the 450 feet and mark the point C. 



Through the point C draw the east and west lines and 

 north and south lines and lay off 260 degrees as noted in 

 the table for the next line. This will necessitate passing 80 

 degrees beyond the south point. Lay the protractor between 

 the south and west points and count off 80 degrees. The 

 line BC will pass through the point found. Measure off 3.87 

 inches for the 387 feet and mark the point D. In like manner 

 all the corners and sides of the woodlot are plotted on the 

 paper. 



When the last line is plotted, if the end of the line as drawn 

 falls very close to the point A or the starting point, the work 

 was well done. If the points do not come closely together 

 some mistake was made either in the field work or in drawing 

 the map, and the work should be done over again. Otherwise 

 the last line should be drawn from the last corner to A, so that 

 the map will close.
