Be sure to remove the bar on the left before you print. Make a composite map of 2 pieces (2 parts that go together) using the 200m scale. Show the different land-uses in your map by shading over it, using different colours. Use the same colour for the same type of land-use and use lighter/darker shades to show different levels. You may use pencil crayons, transparent markers or digital imaging to create your map.
