Grid vs. Magnetic Azimuth THREE NORTHS TRUE NORTH MAGNETIC NORTH GRID NORTH G N N Determine Azimuth Determine Azimuth Plot location of two points Use straight edge to draw line between both points (line must be long enough to cross scale on protractor) Use protractor to determine azimuth Determine Back Azimuth Back Azimuth Back Azimuth - azimuth taken from a distant point toward your location Used in Resection Numbers less than 180 - add 180 Numbers greater than 180 - subtract 180 Determine Distance Determine Distance Straight Line Use edge of paper and mark distance between points Line paper up next to scale to determine distance Road Distance Break curve into series of straight lines and measure from curve to curve Line paper up next to scale to determine distance Advanced Skills Intersection Single Point, 2-Point, etc Resection Single Point, Dual Point, etc * * * * * * * * * * * * * Basic Map Skills Identify Map colors Identify Map Symbols Identify Marginal Information Identify Terrain Features Basic Map Skills Identify Grid Identify Elevation Grid vs. Magnetic Azimuth Determine Azimuth Back Azimuth Determine Distance Map Colors Black - Indicates cultural (man-made) features such as buildings and roads, surveyed spot elevations, and all labels Red-Brown - Combined to identify cultural features, all relief features, non-surveyed spot elevations, and elevation, such as contour lines on red-light readable maps Map Colors Blue - Identifies hydrography or water features such as lakes, swamps, rivers, and drainage Green - Identifies vegetation with military significance, such as woods, orchards, and vineyards Brown - Identifies all relief features and elevation, such as contours on older edition maps, and cultivated land on red-light readable maps Map Colors Red - Classifies cultural features, such as populated areas, main roads, and boundaries, on older maps Other - Occasionally other colors may be used to show special information. These are indicated in the margin
