Knowing where the dam is going was the easy part. Figureing out where it begins and ends is turning out to be harder then I expected.
I started clearing an area I wanted it to go, but need it to tie into the existing slope in a spot that will also tie into my plat and road system.
The swamp is six inches deep on this side. I measured from the surface of it and went up six feet with my lazer level.
Then I marked the shoreline in orange paint.
With this little bit of information, I can
cut my roads and follow the shorline to the end of the dam.
