A digital biography
of any point.

Choose a point in San Diego County. Field Method gathers the public evidence, reads the terrain and lays it out McHarg-style: layers, planting zones, 24×36 sheets and CAD linework.

Runs in your browser from public sources (USGS, USDA, NOAA, CAL FIRE, FEMA, OpenStreetMap). Takes about a minute. Preliminary: not a survey and not for construction or permit.
