Please answer the following questions:
1. Is your map an accurate representation of the park? If you think that there are areas that are not accurate, what were sources of error in your data collection that may have led to this?
2. Please describe how you measured distances in the park in detail. Was this a good method to use? How would you refine this process?
3. How did you deal with magnetic declination when it came to plotting bearings and using the compasses?
4. What is georeferencing an image? (you may need external resources to answer this) How did we accomplish this task with our maps?
5. What is the gradient of the park when you consider the high and low points (6610ft and 6584ft) and the fact that they are exactly 403 feet apart? If this gradient were to go on forever, how many vertical feet would you climb if you walked a mile uphill? [Hint: Remember slope calculations]
