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.

• 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
