MAPS

http://guides.library.fullerton.edu/historians_toolbox/index.html

Here are some basic map concepts and simple tips to help you get the 
most from the maps in this textbook. 
•There are many different types of maps intended to illustrate different 
types of information. A few of the kinds most frequently used in his- 
tory books are political, demographic, topographic, and military maps. 
•Political mapstraditionally show territorial boundaries (such as 
state and country borders). 
•Demographic mapsuse shading or cross-hatching to show 
trends relating to population density and distribution. 
•Topographic mapsillustrate both natural and man-made surface 
features, such as mountain ranges, rivers, and dams. 
•Military mapszoom in on a specific battlefield or show a broad 
theater of war, and illustrate troop movements over a period of time. 
Many maps, such as the one in this foldout, combine multiple features 
into one document, illustrating more than one kind of information. 
•Always look at the scale, which allows you to determine the distance, 
in miles or kilometers, between locations on the map. 
•Examine the legend carefully (it’s usually contained in a boxed inset). 
It explains the colors, shading, and symbols used on the map. 
•If the map is accompanied by a caption, read it thoroughly. Captions 
usually provide clues to what the author thinks is important about the 
geography, and offer additional interesting details that may not be 
covered in the surrounding text. 
•Note the mountains, rivers, oceans and other topographic features 
and consider how these features would affect human activities such 
as agriculture, trade, communication, travel, and warfare during the 
period being discussed. 
•Refer often to the maps as you read surrounding text, and go back to 
study them after you have finished reading. Maps can enhance your 
understanding of events and places discussed.
