Question #1: Is my math correct below?
Question #2: Is there a UTM grid plotter to that scale available?
The scale of USGS maps is 1:24,000. One inch on the map = 24,000 inches (or 2,000 feet) in the field. The scale listed in the CT Map Book is 1 inch on the map = 3000 feet (36,000 inches) in the field. So the scale should be 1:36,000.
