Study Notes
Types of Maps
- Statistical maps typically show the distribution of a particular phenomenon or characteristic over a given area.
Conventional Signs
- Arrows are a type of conventional sign used on maps to indicate direction, particularly for roads.
Map Scales
- Small-scale maps show whole countries, continents, oceans, or even the world on one sheet.
Conventional Signs
- Conventional signs on maps represent features or objects that are difficult to draw to scale, such as roads, buildings, or landmarks.
Types of Maps
- Transportation maps are concerned with rail and road movements specifically.
Relief Maps
- Relief Maps represent the three-dimensional shape of the Earth's surface, using contour lines, shading, and other techniques to show relief features.
Map Orientation
- The purpose of Grid North on a map is to provide a reference direction for navigation and measurement.
Surveying
- A spot height refers to a point on a map where its height has been determined using survey methods.
Contour Maps
- Vertical Interval (VI) on a map represents the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines.
Map Preparation
- The purpose of setting a map is to ensure that it is oriented correctly, with the top edge aligned with Grid North, to facilitate accurate navigation and measurement.
