Re: [Cz-L] Corrections about the areas of the cemetery which have been cleared.

Mimi,
  There is no projectional error due to elevation in the satellite map:
  Plot 33 is 228 m above sea level ,so is plot 119
  there is a slight drop towards the street : plot 120 is 227 asl.
   Practically the total area is flat ,the error negligible.
