Section 5(i) in Revenue Standing Orders Relating to Forest Settlement
(i)The District Forest Officer will first select and demarcate the proposed reserve with the aid of his maps, if any. The demarcations will be preliminary and the marks temporary. The temporary boundary marks may be flag, or cross-sticks, etc., on bamboo poles fixed in small piles of rough stones or mounds of earth. When maps are available, the District Forest Officer will mark on the taluk map or atlas sheets, the approximate limits of the proposed block and will either (a) have the map prepared under his own orders, or (b) if unable to do so, will send a tracing of the taluk map or atlas sheets to the Survey Officer.
