Zodiac Geodetic Survey Symbols


Here we see geodetic survey symbols and reference to radian calculations right through the cipher which suggests the possibility that Zodiac was knowledgeable in cartography.

The number of characters between each of the characters could be inches, especially the Zodiac button symbols, often used in geodetic benchmark locators, as the copper bolt within the Mt Diablo Initial Point Meridian Denning monument.

Was The Zodiac trained in military cartography?  Someone who was high up in USMC?

S = (R(map inches) * θ)

Zodiac Killer - Lt Col Norman Edwin Denning copper bolt datum

Here is the copper bolt for initial point cadastral boundary centralised reference which is more than likely where the piece of map ripped out by The Zodiac Killer was survey referenced from. Lt Col Norman Edwin Denning was responsible for the Mt Diablo (Devil Mountain) initial point meridian and baseline.  Zodiacs spatial map, Phillips 66 petroleum map would have been created from this initial benchmark point. *Note the symbol of circle and cross aka crux of the initial point in reference Zodiacs ciphers and map denoting set to magnetic north (16.5 to 17 degrees magnetic declination). So, S = (R(map inches) * θ ); Zodiac has symbols through his encryption code

Zodiac Killer Map - Phillips map 66

Image
The Zodiac Phillips 66 map has a symbol over Mt Diablo (Spanish for Devil).  Mt Diablo is the datum reference point for the map and the symbol over devil mountain is a surveyors symbol. The whole Phillips petroleum map would have been referenced around this cairn on Mt Diablo as someone with a theodolite could see this reference point from many places. This means Zodiac knows about how the map was made and has knowledge of surveying and how the early map was developed. The symbol on the map is directly referenced over the datum point with request to set the symbol at magnetic north. The symbol is that of a road surveyor or similar.  Are his murders referenced to Devil Mountain datum reference point? These buttons he references are datum points.  Devil mountain is the origin point of how the map was created.  His buttons as he calls them can also be datum studs which are used to place the theodolite staff on.  He may have been a civil engineer or road surveyor. We have s
