�field book, you will run out, measure, and mark all the exterior lines of the townships you survey, except where they are bounded on located lands: such lines you need not resurvey & mark and only measure such parts as may be necessary to ascertain their relative position, or to ascertain the contents of any of the townships you shall survey. When in making this survey your line shall intersect any line previously run by you, or others in your employ you will note in your field book whether, the line last run intersects the former line at the six mile mark, and if not, what course and distance from such mark, and whether you do, or do not make such six mile mark the corner of a township and if you do not make such six mile object, the corner you will note in your field book the reason for not doing it. You will be careful at all corners of townships to mark, in a durable and conspicuous manner, the numbers of the townships and ranges so that it may be easily ascertained to which they refer, and note such marks, and the object on which made in your field book. You will cause all your lines to be well marked and spotted; and at the termination of every mile from the corner of a township, you will make a durable mile mark indicating the distance from the corner, and note such mile mark in your field book, and upon what object it is made. As you proceed in running your lines you will carefully observe the face of the Country, the growth of wood the quantity and quality of timber, the streams, lakes and ponds and their width where you pass them, the mill sites mountains, heaths swamps, bogs, and all objects indicating the good or bad quality of the soil, or in any way skewing the real and relative value of the several parts of the territory and carefully note the same with fidelity in your field book
