Objective • Students will design a map of an imaginary country that they create with a partner • Students will identify and include important terms on their maps related to map skills
Map Skills Five Themes of Geography & Important Terms
Map A graphic representation of selected characteristics of a place, usually drawn to scale on a flat surface.
The Five Themes of Geography • When geographers work, they are guided by two basic questions: • Where are things located? • Why are they there? To find these answers, geographers use five themes to organize information
The Five Themes Of Geography • 1. Location • Absolute Location • Latitude • Parallel to the Equator • Longitude • Parallel to the Prime Meridian • Relative Location • 2. Place • Characteristics • 3. Human-Environment Interactions • Relationships within places
Five Themes Continued… • 4. Movement • Communication • Transportation • Settlement and Migration Patterns • 5. Regions • Ex: Middle East, Midwest
Types of Maps • Political Maps • showing the country capital and large cities, states, or counties • Physical Maps • showing the wide range of landforms in the country • Color Key Maps • showing average temperature, population density, elevations • Natural Resources Maps • showing locations of centers of agriculture, manufacturing, education
What does this map illustrate? Political map- shows boundaries/borders of countries (man-made)
What does this map illustrate? Physical map- shows geographic features such as mountains, lakes, deserts etc.

Key Elements- DOGSTAILS • Date • When the map was made • Orientation • Directions • Compass • Grid • Locates places on the map • Scale • What the map distance is • Title • What, where, and when • Author • Who made the map • Index • Map address of places • Legend • What the symbols mean • Sources • Basis for map information
Title, Date, & Author • Title • Identifies what is happening, where, and when. • Date • Text identifying when the map was made and/or updated. • Author • Text identifying the cartographer or organization responsible for making the map.
Orientation • Orientation: • A north arrow is a symbol indicating the direction in which north lies • A compass rose is a symbol indicating the cardinal directions • N, S, E,W • NE, NW, SE, SW
Grid • Grid • Intersecting lines, “coordinate system” drawn on a map to pinpoint location. • Often latitudes and longitudes
Scale • The relationship between distance on a map and actual distance on the earth. • A map showing a small area in detail is a “large scale” map • Amap showing a large area without much detail is a “small scale” map
Legend • Legend or Key • A guide identifying what the map’s symbols and colors represent.
