After having entered nearly 200 surveys, patents, and deeds into my map, I'm
now wondering if I should have used a declination value in each plot rather
than at the beginning using the Include method. My plots range from 1737 to
1872. I have a few surveys with great stream views which give me a real
good idea of where they should be situated, and then the other tracts should
fit. All the tracts fit great together so far but fitting them to the
streams leaves the tracts in between to stream, for example, not touching
where they should. I know it's hard to picture what I'm talking about. I
hate the thought of removing that first Include entry and having to re-place
all those plots with each other--I'm just dreading it. But I have a
suspicion that's what I should be doing.

So my question, with this range of 1737-1872, would it have been better to
adjust individual tracts along the way?

Marie.
