Creating Stand Maps, Generating Plot Maps, and Upload/Download Plot Points to GPS
Create Stand Map with Topo Base Map
• Open ArcMap• In ArcMap, select File → Add Data.. → Select Layers
– Example• Topo Map (tif file): l47.tif • Stand Boundary (shapefile): FS_Cat_Creek.shp
1) View can be changed using “zoom in”, “zoom out” functions on tool bar.
2) Characteristics of stand boundary (i.e., fill and line color) can be changed by clicking on the symbol in the layers window.

Calculating Distance between Points for Systematic Sampling
Arctoolbox →Data Management Tools → Feature Class → Create Fishnet
Generate Inventory Plot Grids
• Input new feature name
• Constrain to stand boundary
• Input number plot spacing
• Input ‘0’ to autofill into stand polygon

Generate Inventory Plot Grids
• Make sure necessary amount of points are within layer.
• If too few points lower spacing.• If too many points randomly select points
from existing points
