For a map to be accurate it must be drawn to an appropriate scale.Maps can now be incorporated into new technology such as SatNav and Google maps.41148001289052743200128905[B] Direction-152400107315In order to give direction accurately you should refer to the points on a compass (as opposed to up, right and left etc.). The sixteen point compass is much more accurate than the 8 point compass and can be seen opposite.[C] Measuring DistanceStraight line distances can be calculated between 2 points on a map using the scale line. The diagram below explains how this is done.685800939805181600117475[Task 1.1] [a] In your jotter give at least three examples of a situation where you would use a map. [b] Using the map on the following page:- You are standing at A looking over to B, which direction are you facing: _________- What is the distance between A and B? __________- You are standing at B looking over to C, which direction are you facing: _________- What is the distance between B and C? __________- You are standing at C looking over to D, which direction are you facing: _________- What is the distance between C and D? __________- You are standing at D looking over to E, which direction are you facing: _________- What is the distance between D and E? __________- You are standing at E looking over to F, which direction are you facing: _________- What is the distance between E and F? __________Map of Keswick52578008138160[Task 1.2] Measuring around curves can be more challenging. You will have to turn the paper appropriately. Measure the distance of:[a] A66: ___________________[b] A591 : ___________________32104kmABCDEF[2] Map Symbols5943600-811530Learning Intentions:- To accurately identify symbols using the key of an Ordnance Survey map2739390561340Ordnance Survey is a government department which produces maps of Great Britain (and to an extent, the Isle of Man). It is one of the world's largest producers of maps.[Task 2.1] Using a key from a 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey Map, identify the symbols below:1.General Map Features(a)(n)(b)(o)(c)(p)(d)(q)(e)(r)(f)(s)(g)(t)(h)(u)(i)(v)(j)(w)(k)(x)(l)(y)(m)(z)2.Tourist & Recreation Features (blue)(a)(f)(b)(g)(c)(h)(d)(i)(e)(j)3.Abbreviations(a)CH(e)P(b)PC(f)LC(c)CG(g)TH(d)MS(h)Sch4.Water Features(a)(d)(b)(e)(c)The keys to 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey Maps share many of the same symbols. However 1:25,000 maps also include a more detailed range of tourist/ recreation features and abbreviations. Use the key to a 1:25,000 OS map to identify the symbols below:5.Features found only on 1:25,000 maps(a)(h)(b)(i)(c)(j)(d)(j)(e)(k)(f)(l)FB(g)(m)Mon[3] Four-figure Grid References5943600-811530Learning Intentions:- To be able to accurately use four-figure grid referencesMany maps have a grid of lines printed over them. The lines go across and down. Each line has a number. These numbers can be used to show the position of something on the map. We do this by finding the grid reference.How to give a four-figure grid reference38735184785[Task 3.1] Here is a larger map. Write down the four-figure grid references for the following features:6 The Windmill __________7 Fallow Hill __________8 The Lake __________9 Mill Farm __________10 Willow Farm ___________1 The village of Barham ________2 The village of Farthing ________3 The village of Longton ________4 Round Wood ________5 Long Wood ________-45085207010[Task 3.2] Using the map below, give the four- figure grid reference of:The golf courseOne public telephoneThe viewpointThe worksPicnic areaLittle Down 28257515494013121110706968[Task 3.3] On the grid below colour in the following squares: 4212; 4815; 5115; 5116; 4918; 4216; 4515; 4512; 4817; 5112; 4218; 4518; 4213; 4513; 4812; 4813; 4814; 4718; 4415; 4214; 5114; 4912; 4712; 4315; 4215; 4217; 4514; 4516; 4517; 5118; 5117; 4816; 4818.[Task 3.3] Give the four figure grid reference of the following symbols-304800114935[4] Six-figure Grid References5943600-811530Learning Intentions:- To be able to accurately use six-figure grid referencesA more precise way of identifying a location on a map is to use a six figure grid reference. To give a six figure grid reference, imagine that each grid square has ten divisions along each side and that each division has a number from one to ten.Figure 4: Six Figure Grid References106680013335Points A and B are both found in square 9366. By adding an additional number after the easting and northing we can give a more precise 6 figure grid reference.e.g.A is 93 and 2 tenths along. The first 3 number of the grid reference are 932.A is 66 and 3 tenths up. The last 3 digits are therefore 663.A has a six figure grid reference of 932 663.NBWhen a point is on a line, we must look at it as 0 tenths e.g. any point which lies on easting 93 (such as H in the diagram above) will start of with the grid reference 930.[Task 4.1] Using Figure 4 above, give the six figure grid reference for the points below:B93 _ 66 _FCGDHEJ[Task 4.2] Draw your own simple picture in the box (e.g. a smiley face). Then give the six figure grid references so that the picture can be redrawn. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________41424344454647484950515253541011121314151617181920[5] Six-Figure Map Tasks5943600-811530Learning Intentions:- To be able to accurately identify features on an OS map using six-figure grid references.[Task 5.1] Use the 1:50,000 map of Ebbw Vale and Abergavenny, to complete the tasks below:1.Identify the features at the following grid references:(a)281119(i)321111(b)264107(j)229101(c)209121(k)296123(d)209153(l)315154(e)301145(m)248115(f)232148(n)263155(g)194154(o)249108(h)268167(p)1420922.

They are often found on the top of hills.Both of these methods give a precise height above sea level, but they do not tell us about the shape of the land. This is called relief.3.ContoursA contour is a line on a map that joins up all points of the same heightOn 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey Maps, the contour interval (spacing) is 10 metres. Every 50 metres (50, 100 150 . . . . ) will have a darker brown line to help identify the changes in relief.

They join together places of the same height and form patterns that help us to imagine what the land actually looks like.-76200157480205740079375091440220980046990Ordnance Survey Mapping Questions: 2010 Copeland Map[Task 7.1] Complete the questions (in sentences) in your jotter.ReliefHow would you describe the relief in grid square 1605 and why?
