MAP

After the transect route has been subdivided into sections, an accurate map should be made. The length of each section should be recorded. Record any landmarks at the beginning of each section and also record the lateral limits of the transect. This level of detail ensures that another recorder can follow the route. The information on the map should, in fact, be sufficiently detailed to permit the route to be relocated and used even after a lapse of some years. For this reason, the landmarks chosen should be reasonably permanent. Whenever possible a Global Positioning System map should be made of the transect.
