REVIEW
Scale• A ratio between actual distance on the ground and length
on the map• 1/10,000 = 1 inch on the map/10,000 inches on the earth
Small-scale=less detail, regions, continents
1 inch/150 miles
Large-scale=more detail, cities1 inch/5miles
Maps
• Mercator Projection– 1569, used for
navigation to plot straight lines based on compass directions
Maps
• Robinson Projection– Shows better shape, but lacks directional utility
Maps
• Goode’s interrupted projection– Minimizes specific distortions, but distance
and direction distorted
Maps• Cylindrical
Planar
• Conic
Maps
• Contour Lines – Isolines connect points of equal or constant value (temperature, elevation, culture regions)
