The Guide To Numbered Features layout element helps find a feature on a layout by identifying the region on a grid that contains the feature. This element contains a list of features with their associated grid value. Because the grid values correspond with the region containing the feature annotation, each feature number appears on the map once. The element derives the features from a feature class and uses the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) for the grid.
