4 How to use the Platinum Primary School Atlas

The page title indicates the main theme or topic of focus for each page�

Map titles indicate the main theme of the map, if it is not the same as the page title�

The map key explains the meaning of the various symbols used on the map�

Two types of scale are provided on all of the maps in the atlas: a line scale and a word scale�

The direction indicator on the map shows the four cardinal directions�

A locator map helps to locate the area, country or region being studied in its larger country or world context�

Diff erent types of graphs give additional information on the topic�

Nine History maps provide a heritage trail through each of the provinces of South Africa�

Maps of the nine provinces of South Africa provide information on the key geographic features of each province�

Use the alphanumeric grid and labels to identify as well as locate features and places on the maps�

The labelled lines of latitude and longitude form a grid that helps us to use degrees to identify and locate features and places on the maps�




5How to use the Platinum Primary School Atlas

Use atlas pages 6–17 to study and revise the key map skills needed for CAPS Grades 4–7 Geography�

Use the contents page to fi nd maps in the atlas�

The colour used on the contents page for each of the main atlas sections is the same as the colour on the top and bottom of the matching atlas pages�

Use the index to locate places on a map: for each place, the index gives both the alphanumeric grid reference and the co-ordinates (in degrees)�

Instructions are given on how to use the atlas index�




8 Map skills Symbols, colours and keys on maps

Elements of a mapIn order for us to read and understand a map, it should always have a title and a key, and it should show direction and the scale used to draw the map.

Symbols and keys on maps Because a map is a drawing of an area as seen from above, it is diffi cult to show all the objects and features that occur on the ground on a map. For this reason, cartographers use symbols to show the location of certain features. Symbols can be simple pictures, letters, patterns or colours. For example:● To show water, we use the colour blue. ● We use green to show sports fi elds, parks and forests. ● To show a hospital, we use the red cross.

We use green to show sports fi elds, parks and forests.

● To show a petrol station, we use a simple picture of a petrol pump.

The key on the map explains the meaning of the symbols in words.

9Map skills Symbols, colours and keys on maps

Colour as a map symbolWe can use diff erent colours on a map as symbols to stand for diff erent things. We often use green to show sports fi elds, parks and forests. We use blue to show rivers, lakes and seas.

Colour to show height on mapsThe land on Earth is not all at the same height. Some parts, such as hills and mountains, are much higher than the land around them.

In a plan view, we cannot see the heights of hills and mountains. Colours used on maps show which parts of the land are high and which are low. The map key explains what each colour stands for.

Land at diff erent heights above sea level

A map of the area shown in the photograph

Diff erent parts of the hill are at diff erent heights above sea level.




10 Map skills Scale

Map scale To fi t a map of a place or an area onto a page, the map needs to be greatly reduced, or scaled down, in size. This is known as drawing to scale. The scale of the map tells you how much smaller the map is than the real area.

There are diff erent ways to show the scale of a map. In this atlas, two types of scale are used:

a line scale:

and a word scale:

This means that 1 cm on the map is equal to 500 m on the ground.

Large-scale and small-scale mapsLarge-scale maps show a small area of land. Small-scale maps show a much larger area of land.

A small-scale map shows a much larger area in less detail. Here Cape Town appears as a dot – no further detail is shown.

14 Map skills Locating places on maps and globes

Latitude and longitude co-ordinatesLines of latitude and longitude cross each other. We name each crossing point starting with its latitude measurement followed by its longitude measurement. These measurements are called co-ordinates. For example, the point at which the 20° N line of latitude and the 30° W line of longitude meet has the following co-ordinates: 20° N; 30° W.

We can use latitude and longitude co-ordinates to describe the exact position of a place.

How to fi nd the co-ordinates of a place on a mapUse the map below to fi nd the co-ordinates of Knysna.

Step 1: Find the line of latitude that passes closest to the place. This line of latitude is 34° S.

Step 2: Find the line of longitude that crosses the latitude line closest to the place. This line is 23° E.

The co-ordinates for Knysna are 34° S; 23° E.
