Type in the Bedford zip code (47421) in the appropriate box, and click the "go" button. 2) Find the approximate location of BNLHS on the map, and zoom in until you find it. 3) Place the crosshair cursor over the pennant (flag) on the building, then look at the ltitude and longitude. Write it down in your notes. 4) What is the elevation of BNLHS where the top of the pennant is located? (read the contour lines.) 5) What is the vertical drop in elevation from the pennant marking BNLHS to Leatherwood creek where the old railroad crossed the creek? 6)Find Grissom Airport. What is the elevation marked where the runway "T's"? 7) What is the change in elevation over the length of the runway? 8) List at least 3 man-made features that can be found in the NorthEast 1/4 of the map when it is centered on the "X" (you center the map wherever you put the cursor and click the mouse button) where the runway T's, and when the map is zoomed in as far as possible. 9) Find BNL again - center the map on the pennant and zoom in the view all the way. In the map margins, find the drop down menu marked "fun tools". Click on it, then click on "Print my maps" and follow the directions to print this view. 10) Zoom out one time, and follow the same directions given for #9 to print the map. 11) Bring your answers and both maps to class tomorrow. Maptech LSB If you finish early, revisit the web sites below to review the material. You'll need it Friday on your test. ************************************ Below is material from the last time you were in the computer lab... *********************************** OK all, You need to pay attention to what you're reading. You MUST know how to number sections within a township 1-36, you must know how to correctly locate property within a section to the nearest 1/4 of 1/4, and be able to determine elevation using contour lines. Turn in a paper by the end of the period with all of a township's 36 sections labeled correctly. Use the last 2 links to find all this. Make sure you stay busy with this - and stay on task the whole period, make it worthwhile. ********************************* If the linked page doesn't open into a new page, then put the cursor over the link, click the right button and choose "open new page" so you can have them open at the same time. Take notes about the web site at the bottom on how to read Topographic maps. Check out the part about use of color, types of grids, etc. too. topo.html Public Land Survey System |
