What to Focus On

  • Topographical maps are detailed and accurate.
  • They show both natural and man-made features.
  • They are made from accurate land surveys.
  • Blue = water features
  • Red = settlements and cities
  • Yellow = cultivable land and plains
  • Eastings are vertical lines.
  • Northings are horizontal lines.
  • The origin is the South-West corner of the map.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Grid references are read from north to south, so Northings come first.

Blue always means only rivers, so any blue feature must be a perennial river.

Brown only shows mountains, not contours or relief in general.
