clarifying mapping focus and direction for visual communication

What I have decided:
-I am going to communicate the change of place through recording found unnatural objects (signs of human activity), plant and animal life, in set locations along Oakley Creek.


-These locations are still yet to be decided (I anticipate changes will be needed once I have visited these sites), but are suggested by map 2 in 'Mapping Oakley Creek,' a previous post. These 18 suggestions are marked according to where I anticipate a change of place (due to change of activity, type of location). 


Problems still to solve:
-How will I define the parameters of each 'location'? will it be defined by 10 of my steps along the stream from a certain point? 5? 20? 


-How will I map what I find at each location visually? Cross-section? Will this mean collecting measurements of depth, width, etc? Will I record where I find the objects?


-Plant life will be difficult for me to identify, and animal life difficult to find... how do I work around this?


-What type of media do I want to use for final presentation? Is it more suited to analogue or digital methods? Or a different kind of media?
