As an aquatic ecologist who has recently delved into the world of historical ecology, I find myself reconstructing watershed histories using surveyors' notes from the 1880s. In addition to their standard data form with surveying codes, angles, bearings, etc., the surveyors often made observations in the field books such as "large lake 2-6 feet in depth, created by a beaver dam" where a lake no longer exists. Or making observations on historic indigenous fishing sites where the contemporary river would not support fish. So in additional to all the other good reasons to proceed with your project, the value of those notes for later researchers to glean natural history information at a later date, perhaps for reasons we can't foresee, is invaluable. Thanks for working on this worthy project!DrVodnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154778803073299276noreply@blogger.com
