The Farmstead

the holding goes deeper than the county sheet · a sheet of its own

The survey's second scale. Every place on this sheet is a real thing; of some, the survey was also told a double. The naturalist catalogs what was reported. He does not confirm it.

Placeholder sheet: the shapes and these lines hold the structure until the hand arrives. Back up to the county sheet.
