Forest Service range district falls under which symbol category?

Forest Service range district falls under which symbol category?

• A. One of Boundaries Symbols
• B. One of Buildings Symbols
• C. One of Transportation Symbols
• D. One of Water Symbols

Answer: (A)

Think about map symbol categories as groups for what features represent on a map. A range district for the Forest Service is an administrative area that defines the extent of management, not a structure, a road, or a body of water. Boundaries symbols are the categories used for lines and marks that show limits and borders, such as political borders, property lines, or administrative districts. So the range district would be shown with a boundary symbol to indicate where that administrative area begins and ends. The other categories map to buildings, transportation features, or water features, which are not what a district boundary represents.
