- Abstract:
- Harvard Forest Simes Tract Petersham Ma - Stand type 1980
- [Per Simes Tract 1980 report by Bruce Kernan (HF 1971-21), "boundary lines are based upon several sources including a compass and tape survey made by E. J. Taintor in 1973, the Town of Petersham ownership map to be found at the Harvard Forest, aerial photographs, and ground checks. Since the compass and tape survey was never closed and appeared to be inaccurate along its western line, this line was drawn in by use of the aerial photographs. Consequently, the map, although considered sufficiently accurate for management activities, is probably not accurate to any fine degree. Its limitations should be borne in mind and its information checked and corrected when opportunity arises."]
