Field notes
The described search starts with a preset region or a custom location, then follows state and U.S. highways across published geologic maps. It favors formation contacts near named drainages and says each card can include nearby creeks, directions from a town, roadside clues, likely finds, and a Waze search term. Five preset areas are listed, and the page pairs the tool description with photographs and notes about the owner's own specimens.
