During this session, students used flagged stakes to map the countour of the land. Application of this technique is important to the ground ripping process to trap water in the contours and to slow natural water run-off.
Students enjoyed the comparison of modern surveying equipment to the primitive (yet accurate) tools developed my Mr. Cox (below) in determining the contour of his land.
