- EXAMPLE0.TXT The legal description is as follows:
-
- FIRST TRACT: BEGINNING at two hickories, S 5 W 48 poles to a hickory and
- dogwood; thence Southeast 18 poles to two white oaks; thence N 77 E 16 poles to
- a black oak and walnut; thence N 55 E 52 poles to a black elm and hickory;
- thence running with the West side of said Allen Bridge Road to a stake at the
- highway; thence with said highway West to a white oak; thence with Frank
- Sullivan's line to two hickories, the beginning. Containing 15 acres, more or
- less.
-
- SECOND TRACT: ALL OF THAT PORTION of a tract known as the Poore heirs tract
- that is surrounded by the old Monticello-Jamestown Road, the road formerly
- known as West KY 92, and the driveway to the Allen Bridge Road. There is also
- included that portion of said land that includes the driveway serving both the
- property known as the Poore heirs tract and the Selvidge tract. It being the
- intention of the parties that both the first and second parties shall have the
- right to utilize this driveway for access to their respective properties.
-
- Part of the description has actual directions and distances, part calls for
- obvious boundaries such as roads, and other parts just mention the other
- feller's property. CAVEMAP can handle only directions and distances.
-
- I surveyed the boundaries as shown by the owner. This is typical of what you
- should be able to accomplish with this surveying method. This was a spur of
- the moment job, with a Suunto MC-1 (a variety of compass similar to the Silva
- Ranger) which I had never used before this trip. I prefer the Ranger.
-
- I used the built-in clinometer, just to see how convenient it was. The
- increase in the accuracy of the results did not justify the added effort. I
- used a 100 foot tape, because that was all I had. I used one assistant, who
- knew the way. He advanced with the tape end, and I used his hat for a target.
-
- The data are recorded in EXAMPLE0.CAV, to be used as data for CAVEMAP1. From
- CAVEMAP, R = Read the file. You may then D = Display duh data and L = List the
- calculated coordinates. You may M = Map on the screen (in CGA graphics) and
- maybe onto your printer. The scale and aspect will be incorrect until you K =
- Kalibrate the map. If you C = Close the loop between WEM0 and WEM69A, you will
- see that I had an error of 90 feet in a run of 5649 feet, a 1.6% error. This
- is higher than normal for my careful work (this rush job took only about 3
- hours), but it still is plenty good enuf for my purposes. I bought the
- property based on this survey.
-
- You can add the calls from the description of the first tract. I = instrument
- to change to quadrants and poles, A = assign an arbitrary starting location,
- S = shoot the stations, and then B = reassign the first station such that the
- last station equals WEM16. Note that we did not try to survey on this line.
-
- You can buy this vacation/retirement property on Lake Cumberland, Kentucky for
- $15,000. See EARLLAND.TXT for more details.
