1.8. Survey Stations

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a survey station?

   Hint

   Think about its role in determining boundaries.

2. 2.

   What does horizontal control refer to in surveying?

   Hint

   Remember the letters X and Y.

3. 3.

   What is the primary purpose of survey stations?

   • To provide similar elevation measurements
   • To determine boundaries and take various observations
   • To mark busy locations

   Hint

   Think about their role in accurate measurements.

4. 4.

   Horizontal control is used to determine which coordinates?

   • True (X and Y)
   • False (only Y)

   Hint

   Think about how positions on a map are represented.

5. 5.

   A surveyor selected three stations, A, B, and C, that are each visible to at least one other station. Discuss how the angle formed by these points could influence the mapping outcome.

   Hint

   Think about how angles relate to triangles in surveying.

6. 6.

   Assuming the horizontal control established is in a heavily forested area, what measures could be taken to enhance the visibility of survey stations?

   Hint

   Consider the role of visibility in ensuring accuracy.
