What to Focus On

  • A map is two-dimensional and scaled.
  • It shows both natural and human-made features.
  • Map projections are used to show the curved earth on a flat surface.

  • Maps give information quickly and clearly.
  • They help in studying direction, distance and distribution.
  • They are useful in geography, administration and planning.

  • Scale tells the relationship between map distance and ground distance.
  • Large scale maps show more detail.
  • Small scale maps show a larger area with less detail.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A map is just a drawing of places, so scale and projection are not very important.

Large scale maps show large areas, while small scale maps show small areas.

All topographical maps are the same as ordinary maps and do not show physical and human features together.
