Where it actually is
North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.
- 1 Enter the Class D via the northeast side Lake Youngs, northeast side Northeast shore of the Lake Youngs reservoir, a fenced circular water body on the plateau about 7 NM southeast of the field. The ground there is around 500 ft, so it sits well above the valley. Initial request 8-12 NM out depending on airspeed. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
- 2 Direct Maplewood Golf Course; report overhead Maplewood Golf Course Green fairways in the Cedar River valley southeast of the field, on the south side of SR-169. The only large open green on that side of the hill. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
- 3 45 degree to the left downwind for 16 Left traffic for 16 puts the downwind west of the field. satellite Apple Maps

Put it in the GPS
Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.
