  1. 3. Illustrate the physical features of an area, such as the mountains, rivers and lakes.
  2. 5. Distance above sea level. Elevations are usually measured in meters or feet. They can be shown on maps by contour lines
  3. 7. A plan consisting of a series of routes, sometimes to and from a point
  4. 10. Does not show physical features. Instead, they show state and national boundaries and capital and major cities.
  5. 11. Navigational instrument for finding directions
  6. 12. A pattern of regularly spaced horizontal and vertical lines that allow the map user to identify places on the map similar to x and y coordinates
  7. 13. A map that includes contour lines to show the shape and elevation of an area.
  8. 14. A circle graduated to degrees or quarters and printed on a chart to show direction.
  9. 15. A list of symbols and the map features that they stand for
  10. 16. A set of markers on the border that compare a physical distance on the map to the real distance it represents in real life (standard and metric)
