Procedure Step1 We will demonstrate this skill using the photo in FIGURE2 . In this aerial photograph of elephants in Botswana, we want to locate the veterinarian, Jessica, who is at point X. Step2 Place your ýnger in the grid square that contains the X. By running your ýnger up the column of squares, you can see that Jessica is in column D. Write this down in your notebook. Step3 Now, run your ýnger across the row of squares, and you will see that she is in row 4. Write this down to the right of the letter D in your notebook. This gives us the grid reference for Jessica’s location: D4. Now, write the name of the feature (in this case, Veterinarian: Jessica) beside the grid reference.
