1. Location Map
Make us an interactive map of how to find your site where you made your observations.
threshold: pts
2 pts
Really nice and effective map
1 pts
Map Present
Map is present, but not showing boundaries of site or lacking in cartographic effectiveness.

2. Provide a Field Map Sketch (Planform)
Map of site you observed (hand drawn is fine) where you denote locations of all the other observations 3-6.
threshold: pts
5 pts
Effective and Clear Map
4 pts
Pretty Good
Lacking in effectiveness or missing one or two of features.

3.1 - Oblique Photo(s) annotating arrows representing flow direction (magnitude by length)
threshold: pts
5 pts
Accurate & Effective
4 pts
Minor Inaccuracies
Some flow arrows incorrect direction or relative scaling.
3 pts
Present but Difficult to Read
Attempted, but too few arrows, or too many making it difficult to read. And/or some inacuracies.
