David, We use latitude and longitude to identify the burial sites with sufficient precision to be able to mark the locations on the tax maps. The locator sheet which is completed on each site also includes info as to how to find the site with sufficient detail to "enable a child to find it" which means road directions, miles etc. We also hope to put simple metal markers at each site with an ID number, and simple roadside markers with relevant ID numbers pointing to those many sites not located at roadside.
