I figured it would be interesting to count changes from a session of map updating. So I kept a little tally of changes as I drafted them. From the mapping last Thursday at MWW (a little over 3 hours of fieldwork), I spent about 2 hours working in OCAD. It's a little hard to quantify some changes, such as edits to vegetation or trails, but I came up with a number - I made approximately 121 edits to the map. The vast majority were rootstocks (delete / add / move) (44), vegetation adjustments (30) and adjustments to a new horse trail (most of the trail had previously been roughly drawn in) (23). Other changes included a few adjustments to topographic features (1 new depression, 1 new knoll, a few tweaks to contours and ditches), a few cultural features, and an adjustment to the edges of a marshy area.
