My thought is that the "goalpost" style is less likely to be mistaken for a 9. But if the figures are marked carefully it shouldn't be an issue either...

When doing a tree survey in the woods your main purpose is to inventory the trees and not to precisely locate them. A horizontal distance offset shot ...

Further from Cross v. Talbot.... "We are of the opinion, and we take it, that the weight of authority is to the effect that where the land described...
