Note: Hand held GPS units available in stores, such as the one used here, are not sufficiently accurate for a detailed arboretum map. They usually get within 10 meters resolution. For example the point labeled Outcrop at lower right of map is at least 30 feet south of the actual granitic outcrop. To accurately plot the locations of trees in an aboretum of this size requires an expensive survey-grade GPS unit with sophisticated software.
