The made-up landscape illustrates the piece of land that was surveyed during the year of 1887. The overlay of layers represents the process of information transformation done by using the theodolite. The maroon is what was being observed. The information then gets translated into coordinates that are marked upon the 2D map (black) for further feasibility study. The orange portrays the railway that would later be built according to observations of the physical reality of the site.
The theodolite could not be placed directly within the landscape due to scale difference but however, it still operates similarly.
Circles of both vertical and horizontal angle measurement generated separately will overlay the theodolite in position that will explain how the instrument works.
This is an updated timeline that I have worked out the relationship between events. I will add more to it with any further information that could be linked together
