Question

In order to determine how many miles it is from a particular city on a map to the southern boundary of the United States, which map features would a student have to use?

Answer 1

Accurate marking of boundaries is very important to find the exact acreage when calculating land value and property taxes.This has a process;

Reading a compass,it sets direction based on standard dial graduation of 360 degrees.A simple and a reliable technique to adjust for declination is to set the allowance directly  on the compass itself.

Adjusting deed and map bearing,if deed bearing are true and your compass can set the declination internally no adjustments is needed to establish your true field bearing.

Then you can now measure distance and locate a boundary line.
