Lesson

Review with the students the meaning of the term map grid system. A map grid system is a series of lines that cross to form squares. We can use the map grid system to locate places on the Landscape Picture.

 

Review with the student that across the top and bottom of the Landscape Picture appears numbers. Between each number is a small line, called a hash mark. Draw a line from the hash mark between the numbers 1 and 2 at the top of the map and the corresponding hash mark at the bottom.

 

Review with the students that letters appear at the right and left edges of the Landscape Picture. Draw a line from the hash mark between the A and B at the left edge of the picture to intersect with the vertical line you had previously drawn. Ask the students to identify the features found in square A-1.

 

Have the students report what features would be found at the following squares.
