Thanks Lance but neither of these address my needs..which I may not have stated well.
My need is a data structure that captures boundaries (fields) and maintains them thru time and area changes (being broken into smaller areas for research but still part of the whole).
The one data design that comes to mind are HUCS…but was hoping someone had tackled this in a farm research facility..
Thanks

(on ascertaining the true shape of the earth)...the answer lies partly with the fact that eighteenth-century scientists, the French in particular, seldom did things simply if an absurdly demanding alternative was available.....Bourguer and La Condamine thus spent nearly a decade working toward a result they didn't wish to find only to learn that they weren't even the first to find it. Listlessly they completed their survey,...and still not speaking (for almost 9 years), they returned to the coast and took separate ships home....from "A Short History of Nearly Everything" Bill Bryson
