French term or phrase: pointage géographique
...toutes les données de prospection, notamment les données de géochimie, de radioactivité déterminante, forage et pointage géographique de leur échantillonnage par géophysique, rayurage et forage.

Le document original (ayant trait à un permis de fouille) émane de Suisse; le destinataire est Américain.

Je pense qu'il s'agit de la localisation (du point de prélèvement) de l'échantillon, mais qui sait? Quelqu'un ici, je l'espère!

We consulted a geologist who did agree with "plotting", but since the beginning of the sentence was asking for the use of a GIS, he replaced the segment "forage et pointage géologique" by "drilling logs" to avoid redundancy. Thanks for your help!

geographical marking, staking out


Explanation:
I'd agree with Liz's "plot" but I don't think her examples are representative of the meaning, so it could be misleading.

The geographic marker is a visual representation of the location information and is created at the specified point on the drawing. ...
