I agree with you - when i first picked up On-Station, I too found it lacking actual 'how-to' information. There is a new version coming out soon, and should be greatly updated, however I have not seen it yet.
but there are a few other resources:
There is a great book put out many years ago by the MSS on cave surveying, that I seem to have forgotten the name and author of (I don't have it handy). It has great info on actually putting pencil to paper, in and out of a cave, however the out of cave information is dated as well.
There are a few websites with great information:
http://www.brandonkowallis.com/ Has great info, maps and tutorials
http://www.cavecartography.com My site with a bunch of articles concentrating on survey and drafting(go to survey training)
http://www.cavediggers.com/ A site by Mark Passerby that has a ton of info as well
There are more - a quick search will help you find them
For in cave survey there are resources as well:
- Nothing can help better then finding an experienced surveyor and going with them - find one in your grotto or region
- The Center for Cave and Karst Studies out of WKU put on a cave survey and cartography course every few years - they should be announcing this years courses soon
- There are usually a few offerings at convention each year to help cartographers
Hope this helps
