Make sure that the point you choose allows room for the tract to develop as it is plotted by looking over the direction of the longest distances. In the example we're plotting here, the first line is the longest, running 256 poles in a northeasterly direction, so I'll choose a starting spot on my graph paper that allows plenty of room both above and to the right.
This is also a good point to add source information on the deed, grant or patent to your page, along with your name and today's date.
