How to Read the Tree Map

The tree map is a Google map with a pin on it for each documented tree. It is the index into the record, not a display of anything for sale.

Using It

The numbers run down the left-hand column. Click one and the map moves to that pin; click the pin itself and its details open. On a phone the column collapses, so it is usually easier to tap the pins directly.

What a Pin Says

Four lines, and nothing else:

The coordinate is not written in that description, and that is on purpose rather than an omission — the pin's position is the coordinate, and Google shows it when you tap the pin. Writing it out as well would just be the same fact twice.

Where the coordinate does get written down in full is the blog post for that tree, because that is the one place the number and the coordinate meet as text. A pin can be dragged or a map layer lost; a dated post is fixed.

What a Pin Does Not Say

No buyer, no price, nothing marked available or sold. A pin means a tree was found, located and written down — that is the entire claim it makes.

In time the map will hold trees that were opened and turned out not to be worth milling, trees that have already gone, and trees still being worked through from the stump to the branches. It does not distinguish between them, deliberately: the moment it started marking what was available it would stop being a record and become a catalogue. See why availability isn't listed.

If You Are Asking About One

Quote the number. It is the only thing that makes it certain we are both talking about the same tree, and it ties your question to the post, the pin and whatever footage exists. Get in touch.
