Abbreviations and Symbols 
CO. = county; Cr. = Creek; ft = feet; For. = Forest; Hwy. = 
Highway; mi = miles; Mon. = Monument; Mt. = Mountain; Mts. 
= Mountain; Nat. = National; nr = near; NL = No locality cited; 
Pk. = Park; R. = River; St. = State. 
Compass directions are represented by symbols N, E, S, W and 
various combinations thereof. It is understood that they are fol- 
lowed by the word “of”, e. g. “5 mi S Ekalaka” would be read aloud 
as “five miles south of Ekalaka.” For localities not near any town we 
use the legal description. For those not familiar with the legal de- 
scription we recommend an American treatise on surveying or our 
1963 book (p. 76-77). Take, for example, a locality in Richland 
County: 24-19N-57E; the complete legal description would read 
“section 24, Township 19 North, Range 57 East” which would be 
abbreviated to “sec. 24, T. 19 N., R. 57 E.”; to save space we resort 
to extreme abbreviation 24-19N-57E.
