When estimating the strike of a land form; be it coast line, river bank , road, railway line, a ridge or valley; this method allows one to quickly sketch, on paper or on the ground, a map of his surrounds, thus making it easier to find his location on a proper map, or to make his own map. At whatever angle the distant object is to the vertical, so it is to the azimuth of that vertical.The Scene S36.9407,E149.913399
