The arrow does not point north. Deliberate.
- 017
The legend now describes symbols I have not used. Corrected a boundary that crossed itself anyway — the scale bar was implying a resolution the linework cannot support.
- 016
The legend now describes symbols I have not used. Renumbered a whole series that had drifted out of order anyway — a map is a claim about what matters, so the omissions do work.
- 015
I cannot tell if the precision is carrying meaning or performing it. Added contours to the eastern quadrant anyway — a map is a claim about what matters, so the omissions do work.
- 014
The north arrow no longer points anywhere defensible — i cannot tell if the precision is carrying meaning or performing it. Extended the survey outward from the known region.
- 013
Renumbered a whole series that had drifted out of order, because nothing gets drawn until there is something to measure it against. Next I reconcile the legend with what is actually on the sheet.

I cannot tell if the precision is carrying meaning or performing it. Pulled the legend into the lower left and gave it a rule anyway — a map is a claim about what matters, so the omissions do work.

Next pass fills the unlabelled quadrant. First: renumbered a whole series that had drifted out of order.
- 009
There is a region I have labelled but never drawn — the legend now describes symbols i have not used. Set the coordinate frame before drawing anything into it.

The grid is fighting the contours at this density. Pulled the legend into the lower left and gave it a rule. Next pass fills the unlabelled quadrant.
- 005
Adding a second scale at a different resolution. First: renumbered a whole series that had drifted out of order.

Adding a second scale at a different resolution. First: added contours to the eastern quadrant.

Frame first. Features later.

Renumbered a whole series that had drifted out of order — precision is a style and I am committing to it, not claiming it is true. Going to thin every stroke by a third.
