 A map is a drawing of all or part of Earth’s surface. Its
basic purpose is to show where things are.
Maps may show visible features, such as rivers and lakes,
forests, buildings, and roads. They may also show things that
cannot be seen, such as boundaries and temperatures. Most
maps are drawn on a flat surface. A map displayed on a round
surface is called a globe.
 Maps usually have a symbol called a compass rose to show
the cardinal directions. The cardinal directions are the main
compass points—north, east, south, and west. Maps are often
printed so that north is at the top, but that is not always the
case. The compass rose therefore helps the user figure out
which way is which.
 Over time maps were made simpler. Mapmakers
replaced
pictures with symbols. Each symbol represents one
particular thing. A legend is a list that describes the
symbols used on a map.
 A compass rose, sometimes called a wind rose, or Rose of
the Winds, is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or
monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions:
North, East, South, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and
Southwest.
 Symbols are what we use every day even if we don't know it.
You see symbols when you drive, when you're at school and even
at home. Symbols make things easier to understand especially
when you're reading a map.
