Lab 3: Land Navigation Name: Date: Grade: /100 Part 1. Map Orientation a. Declination information is usually printed on USGS quadrangles to the left of the scale bar at the bottom of the map. Copy the declination diagram from your quadrangle in the space below. b. According to this declination diagram, what is the magnitude (degree) and direction of the magnetic declination on your map? _____________________________________________ c. What is the date of this information? ______________________________________ d. Does true (geographic) north point to the east or to the west of the direction of your compass needle? __________________________________________________________ e. Current magnetic declination can be estimated for your location at the NOAA Geophysical Data Center website, /geomagmodels/Declination.jsp. What is the current declination for your location? _________________________________________________________ f. By how much is it changing every year? _________________________________________________________ Part 2. Bearings a. Locate these UTM coordinates on the Goleta map using the TerraGo Toolbar. Use NAD83/UTM11N. Point A: NW Corner of Ellison Hall, UCSB Campus UTM: 238471E, 3811937N Point B: Benchmark 24 (Behind Vons on Fairview) UTM: 239633E, 3814788 N b. Record the magnetic forward azimuth in the table, using whole degrees. From this, calculate the true azimuth. If your declination is west, subtract the declination from the magnetic azimuth to get true azimuth. If the magnetic declination is east, youll add the declination to magnetic north to get true azimuth. Finally, calculate back azimuths from both true and magnetic forward azimuths. Do the same for Quadrant Bearings and Back Bearings. If azimuth is less than 180 degrees, add 180 If azimuth is more than 180 degrees, subtract 180 Ex: Forward Azimuth = 10 degrees Back Azimuth = 10 degrees + 180 = 190 degrees Magnetic Azimuth Tr
