15-1. A 100-ft grid is located over an area that measures 800 ft in the north-south direction
and 800 ft in the east-west direction. The southwesterly corner is designated A-1 and
the southeasterly corner is designated I-1. The northwesterly corner is designated A-9
and the northeasterly corner is designated I-9. Elevations are obtained at the grid points
using a total station instrument, rounded off to the nearest foot. These are tabulated as
follows:
