All Kinds of Maps
Maps Show Locations
Date
A map shows where places are. You can
use maps to find the location of a place.
Making Maps
People who make maps use special tools.
Long ago, mapmakers drew maps on paper.
They used tools such as a compass to find
locations of places. Today, mapmakers study
photographs taken from the sky to find
locations. They use computers to make maps.
How We Use Maps
2
Different maps show different information.
Some show small areas, such as a park or a
community. Other maps show larger areas,
such as a city or state. Lines on a map show
boundaries. Your city and your community
have boundaries. Sometimes a boundary can
run along a body of water.
