Next, all of the natural and artificial features of the terrainare represented by indentations in the wax. This is easily done Reuep Maps 41 by whittling out small, soft pine sticks to represent the vari-ous conventional signs, as, for example, a square end stick forbuildings, a round end for trees, etc. Roads and railroadsmay be draw in by means of a stylus and a straight-edge. Let-ters and figures may be drawn in, or, better, stamped in withrubber stamps or steel type. Every feature is easily repre-sented, and quickly indented on the surface of the wax. Whenyou have no further use for a particular relief map, it may betorn up and another one constructed from the same 10 represents the completed relief map.
