Route Cards & Grade Sheets

Tell us a route — walk it with us, trace it on a printout, or point at it on the map — and we draw it once. From then on it's there on every flight of your land, and two printed artifacts come off that one line. They are deliberately not the same page: the Route Card, which shows the route, and the Grade Sheet, which measures it.

The Route Card

One page per trail: the route drawn on your own imagery, every stop badged 1, 2, 3 in the order you'd walk them, and a legend printing each stop's name and note in that same order. The flight the route was drawn on is named on the page, so a card sitting in a truck a year later still says what it is a picture of. There's a worksheet variant too — same map, same numbering, with a checkbox and a rule line per stop for the walk where somebody writes down what they found.

The card is built to be handed over: the front desk gives one to a guest, the ranch manager leaves one with a new hand, a hunter tucks one in a vest.

The Grade Sheet

For the folder rather than the pocket, the Grade Sheet is where the measurements live. It has no map on it — the card already is the picture — and instead prints the per-leg detail: the grade of each leg between stops, the cross-slope the leg traverses, and a published erosion-risk class from the recreation-ecology literature. That's what turns "the steep bit past the creek" into a number everyone reads the same way. And because a number without its provenance is just a vibe with a decimal point, the sheet states where every figure came from: which elevation surface it was read off, at what resolution, and the leg length below which nothing was measured at all. A leg too short to measure honestly is printed as exactly that — a stated refusal, never a made-up number.

What it deliberately does not claim

This is the part we'd want you to read twice. Both pages print measurements, not judgments. The Grade Sheet will tell you a leg averages 12% — it will never tell you that leg is passable, safe, or right for your machine, because it can't know your equipment, your tires, your weather, or last night's rain. You know your machines; we print the numbers.

A route on this page is a path recorded over this property from our own mapping — a line to walk or fly, and nothing more. It is not a road, an easement, or a right of way, and it is not a statement that the ground it crosses is maintained, legally accessible, or safe to travel on foot or by vehicle. Conditions on the ground govern: check them before relying on a route.
