Where should you write the name, date, and location on the terrain sketch?

• A. Bottom left corner
• B. Top right corner
• C. Bottom right corner
• D. Center

Answer: (C)

Writing the name, date, and location in the bottom right corner keeps the important drawing area clear while providing a quick, consistent place to identify who made the sketch and when and where it was created. The top and left edges are typically used for the map’s essential reference information (like the north arrow, scale, and grid coordinates), so placing metadata in the bottom right avoids cluttering or obscuring those features. This location also stays accessible if the sheet is folded, taped, or mounted, and it gives anyone reviewing the sketch an immediate reference without scanning the entire page. In short, the bottom right corner is a conventional, unobtrusive spot for identifying information that doesn’t interfere with the terrain details.
