The Northern Sector Chart filed in Year 791 has been the operational map for all northern route planning and boundary assessment for eighteen years. Three independent survey teams, deployed separately between Days 201 and 288 of Year 809, returned with field observations that contradict the chart in three distinct locations.
The first contradiction concerns the position of the northern boundary marker line. The official chart places the line at the granite ridge. All three teams found the ridge in the correct position but the boundary markers displaced — not damaged or removed, but standing in positions that do not correspond to the chart. The displacement is consistent across all three surveys. The markers are where they are. The chart says they should be elsewhere.
The second contradiction concerns a watercourse shown on the official chart running northeast from Marker 14. The watercourse does not exist. The terrain where it is shown contains no depression, channel, or evidence of historical water movement. One survey team spent two days searching for it. It is not there.
The third contradiction concerns a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX marked on the chart with a notation that has been partially obscured by water damage. The feature it describes is present in the field. The notation, if it could be read, might explain the other two contradictions. It cannot be read.
