7. Types of Maps – Physical and Political • Physical maps show the location and the topography, or shape of the Earth’s physical features. A study of an area’s physical features can help explain its historical development • Political maps shows the boundaries and locations of political units such as countries, states, and cities (often divided by color). A study of a political map gives you a context for the region.

8. Physical Maps • Use shading and texture to show general relief (difference in elevation, height, landforms). • Landforms are physical features such as plains, mountains, plateaus, and valleys. • Show rivers, streams, lakes and other water forms.

9. Political Maps • Many of the items on a political map are human-made, or determined by humans rather than nature. • Boundaries, capital cities, and roads. • Might also show physical features such as mountains and rivers.

11. Thematic Maps – maps that provide a particular kind of information or a single idea Qualitative Maps – use colors, symbols, lines, or dots to show information related to a specific idea. Examples in Atlas:Pg. 32-33 Pg. 40-41 • Flow-Line maps – use arrows to show the movement of people, ideas, or physical systems. • Examples in Atlas: • Pg. 20-21 • PG. 58-59 Activity: When would you use a qualitative map?
