Show 3858 Gerdine- 1879 coming down the river, what is the object of putting them on the map? A Because they existed at the time the map was made. You want to make the map a faithful representation of the terrain at the time it is made. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q That is, you show all features on the map which appear to the eye up to a contour of thirty- nine hundred feet or to an elevation of thirty- nine hundred feet? A Yes sir. THE SPECIAL MASTER: He has testified, as I understand, that all bars are not shown. MR. BLACKMAR: All bars that are exposed and can be seen. Of course, a bar which was below the water at the time the map was made -- BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Are rocks shown? A I don't think they are, no sir. Q What I am trying to get -- I am not intimating anything one way or the other -- for instance, on the Coast Survey, a map or a chart would show every reef, every bar and every sunken rock, and all that sort of thing. Those are intended for future use, to guide navigators. What I am trying to see is how far this map is intended for a similar purpose. A It is not intended for purpose of navigation, at all. |
