Take time and learn how to do it. Be patient with yourself.

I finished my mapping of the new Carroll County lake which is nearby. I have it calibrated and it looks good. I used the history clock and went back in time to when they had cleared the land that makes the lake bottom. Just like DI all over the lake.

Took me several editions, but I have a good map now.

Good project and good mind exercise.
