This waterhole, or small pond, is an irregularly shaped point feature and some care is needed to identify a furthermost direction. The direction of view from the decision point across the waterhole leads over the path to the edge of the large pit, fixing the S edge of the waterhole as the middle flag (Flag B).

Solution: Flag B.

Advanced tip

Sometimes, for irregularly shaped features, the Column G flag position direction is not easy to determine but may be confirmed by the Nordic method. This is imagining a wide line advancing on the feature from the direction specified (in the manner of a wave approaching a shore). That part of the feature first reached by the line is furthermost in that direction.
