Here is a field expedient method of taking a bearing/azimuth without using a protractor. This means it can be done on maps without a grid overlay. The grid overlay on this USGS quad is “township and range” which we do not use for orienting the map or directions.
I know there will be comments on azimuth vs bearing. An azimuth is just a 360 bearing and vice versa. Different disciplines have different uses for these terms, but in land nav we can use them interchangeably. Some militaries refer to bearings in quadrants with a direction attached, and will always be between 1-90. Some use a 360 bearing. Refer to our previous uploads if you wish to learn to orient your map, and to adjust for magnetic declination.
