Notes:
- A map is a scale model of the real world, made small enough to work with on a desk or computer. It can be a hasty here’s-how to-get-to-the-party sketch, an elaborate work of art, or a precise computer-generated product. A map serves two purposes: It is a tool for storing reference material and a tool for communicating geographic information.As a reference tool. A map helps us to find the shortest route between two places and to avoid getting lost along the way. We consult maps to learn where in the world something is found, especially in relation to a place we know, such as a town, body of water, or highway. The maps in an atlas or a road map are especially useful for this purpose.
- The Geographic grid is a system of imaginary arcs drawn in a grid pattern on Earth’s surface
