10.6 The geological map
This section will discuss how to proceed from fi eld maps and
notebook information through to producing the fi nal fair copy
map, along with additional interpretative material such as
cross-sections.
10.6.1 Inking in the fi eld map
It is advisable to 'ink-in' fi eld maps as soon as possible after
mapping (e.g. in the evening). The aim is not to create a neat
'fi nal map', but to review your observations and evidence while
they are fresh in your mind, resolve any discrepancies, and then
