Summary

You must file a map and profile that shows the exact route of the railroad, wagon road, or tramway. If the line crosses surveyed land, show its position by section lines or official survey corners. If it crosses unsurveyed land, show directions and distances and point out natural features or permanent markers so anyone can find the road from the map.
