Turning your map, with the assistance of your compass, so that it is in the proper perspective to the terrain around you
What is Orienting Your Map
300
The ring that you turn on the compass when setting/taking a bearing
What is the Azimuth Ring
300
This is the name of the plastic square reading used to determine your UTM coordinates
What is a UTM Grid Reader?
300
This is the distance between two DARKER contour lines on a topographical map
What is 100 feet
400
This is what you follow when your compass points in the direction you need to travel to reach your destination
What is a bearing
400
The rise in elevation between two contour lines
What is 20 ft.
400
Method of using a compass to find your exact location on a map by taking bearings for three separate, visible objects and transferring that bearing to your map. Where the three bearings cross determines your approximate location
What is Triangulation

Assuming your bearing has been plotted on the map correctly, explain how you would go about orienting the map in the field to match your landscape

What is set the compass reading to 0/360 degrees, place in the corner of map, and turn both the map and compass until the needle is boxed.

500
This is the symbol that is located at the UTM coordinates 644060 E - 4580450 N
What is +DH
500
Describe how to use triangulation in the field
1) Orient your map to Magnetic North 2) find three prominent landscape features and take a bearing reading for each 3) transfer these bearing readings to the map by placing the compass edge next to prominent feature and rotating compass until needle is boxed. 4) draw an extended straight line on bearing for each 5) lines cross or triangle=location
