-------- Original Message -------- Subject: U.S.C.G.S. chart symbol interpretation Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 11:58:39 -0700 From: Matthew Parsons <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Shooting from the hip here... I seem to recall that there was an online (pdf?) version of a publication or report that included old survey symbols and there meanings. I thought it was once available via the NOAA historic nautical charts site, but it's not there (if indeed it ever was). I have a patron who has an 1881 chart and would like to know what kind of vegetation some of the symbols refer to. Thanks!
