A DETAILED LOCATION of the bench mark you´re interested in, such as " On the curb at the southwest corner of the intersection of NW Everett St. and NW 10th St, Portland, OR"
A MAP of the benchmark location. Any appropriate map will do, so long as you have marked your area of interest. Here are a couple of good map resources for emailing or faxing:
www.mapquest.com - Use this site if you seek photos which contain many streets. The street names can come in handy. Once you have navigated to the correct map, click the "move location" button at the bottom of the map, then click inside the map to place the red star at the center of your area of interest. Mapquest also has made emailing or printing their maps easy. Their buttons are located above the map.
www.topozone.com - This site contains seamless USGS Quads - use this for rural areas and please include a detailed description of the specific area. After you have navigated to the area in question, be sure to select the "Show Target Symbol" checkbox and click on the exact area in the map you seek. Then, simply click in the address/location window to highlight the URL (web address that starts with "www.topozone.com" and is followed by many characters). After highlighting this text, right click and copy that information and paste that into the body of your email. You may also print out the map. Next to the "Show Target Symbol" checkbox is a button that says, "Print this map". Click on this and it will bring a larger map to the screen. You may them click the printer icon on your browser, then fax the image.
**If you are an ODOT employee, and are working on a STIP project, please provide an EA. Thanks!**
