1 Introduction to maps

2 What is a map? A generalized view of an area, usually some portion of Earth s surface, as seen from above at a greatly reduced size Any geographical image of the environment A two-dimensional representation of the spatial distribution of selected phenomena

3 Why make maps? To represent a larger area than we can see To show a phenomenon or process we can t see with our eyes To present information concisely To show spatial relationships

4 Represent a larger area

5 Show what we can t see

6 Present info concisely

7 Show spatial relationships

8 How do we read maps? Maps are selective views of reality Size of the map relative to reality (scale) What s on the map (symbolization) Shape of the map (projection)

9 Map scale Ratio of the distance on the map to the distance on the ground Scale is a fraction Larger area covered means larger denominator Larger denominator means smaller fraction So a large-scale map covers a small area

10

11 Small-scale Large-scale

12 Map scale Ratio of the distance on the map to the distance on the ground 1. Graphic: Stays the same when photocopied Might not be right for the whole map

13 Map scale 1. Verbal: 1 inch equals 10 miles Easy to understand Can change if photocopied

14 Map scale 1. Representative fraction or ratio: 1:24,000 Units don t matter Can change if photocopied

15 Map symbolization Symbols are a code instead of text Three kinds: point, line, area Consider shape, size, orientation, pattern, color, value

16

17 Point symbols Every symbol counts as one occurrence Qualitative points Indicate location Can also describe that location Quantitative points Show a distribution Indicate a value (graduated symbols)

18 Indicate location Describe location

19 Show a distribution

20 Indicate a value

21 Line symbols One-dimensional Mostly taken for granted (borders, roads) Isolines connect same values Flow-line maps indicate value by width of line

22

23 Isolines (Contour lines)

24 Flow-line maps

25 Area symbols Each territory or region has one value Differences in kind Differences in value Choropleth maps Usually, darker indicates more Cartograms distort area to show value

26 Differences in kind

27 Differences in kind

28 Differences in value (Choropleth)

29 Cartogram

30 Topographic maps Also called quadrangles Nearly 54,000 for the U.S. Done by the US Geological Survey (USGS) since 1897 Map out the entire country in a standard fashion

31 Topographic maps Till the 1940s, you climbed to the highest point and plotted what you could see from there Aerial photography after WWII Two overlapping photos are put in a stereoscope 10 photos for each 7.5 minute map

32 Topographic maps Show 2D features, point, line and area; also show 3D via contour lines Common symbols are in the appendix of the text Note the contour interval at the bottom of the map

33

34 Typical Graph This is an example of a typical graph we are all familiar with. The graph is made up of different points with lines that connect the points.

35 Typical Graph Y axis Each point has two values: The X value that runs along the horizontal X axis The Y value that runs along the vertical Y axis X axis

36 Typical Graph Y (3,8) (9,5) (0,0) X value is always stated first Followed by the Y value The origin is the point where the 2 axes intersect with a X value of (0,0)

37 Typical Graph A point can also have negative (-) values Y Negative X values (-X,+Y) (+X,+Y) (0,0) X are to the left of the origin (0,0) Negative Y values (-X,-Y) (+X,-Y) are below the origin

38 East West, North South on The Earth Y X Let the X axis be the Equator. Let the Y axis be the Prime Meridian that runs through Greenwich outside of London. Lat/Long are the 2 grid points by which you can locate any point on earth.

39 East West, North South on the Earth N Let each of the four quarters W E then be designated by North or South S and East or West.

40 East West, North South on the Earth (N, W) (N, E) (S, W) (S, E) The N tells us we re north of the Equator. The S tells us we re south of the Equator. The E tells us that we re east of the Prime Meridian. The W tells us that we re west of the Prime Meridian.

41 East West, North South on the Earth (N, W) Prime Meridian That means all points in North America will have a North latitude and a West longitude because it is North of the Equator and West of the Prime Meridian.

42 East West, North South on the Earth What would be the latitude and longitude directions in Australia? Prime Meridian If you said South and East, you re right!

43 What is Latitude? 90 N Y 90 S X Latitude is the distance from the equator along the Y axis. All points along the equator have a value of 0 degrees latitude. North pole = 90 N South pole = 90 S Values are expressed in terms of degrees.

44 What is Latitude? 90 N Y Each degree of latitude is divided into X 60 minutes. Each minute is 90 S divided into 60 seconds. This is also true of longitude.

45 What is Latitude? 90 N Y For Example: N X This is close to the latitude where you live. 90 S

46 What is Longitude? Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian along the X axis. Y 180 W 180 E X All points along the prime meridian have a value of 0 degrees longitude. The earth is divided into two parts, or hemispheres, of east and west longitude.

47 What is Longitude? Y The earth is divided into 360 equal slices (meridians) X 180 west and 180 east of the prime meridian 180 W 180 E

48 What is Latitude? 90 N Y Our latitude and longitude might be: X N W 90 S

49 So Where is (0,0)? The origin point (0,0) is where the equator intersects the prime meridian. (0,0) is off the western coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.

50 See If You Can Tell In Which Quarter These Lon/Lats Are Located A C B D N, 21 E N, 76 W S, 141 W 4. 7 S, 23 W N, 29 E S, 151 E

53 Positioning on the Earth s Surface East is the direction of rotation of the Earth Prime Meridian 0 o Longitude North Pole Latitude: (90 o N to 90 o S) Longitude: (180 o E to 180 o W) 22 nd Sept 20 th March Tropic of Cancer 21 st June Equator 22 nd December Tropic of Capricorn Longitude 90 o West Longitude 60 o West o 90 o W E o 66½23½ o o ½ o Latitude 23½ o North Latitude 0 o Latitude 23½ o South Longitude 90 o East Longitude 60 o East Longitude 30 o West Longitude 30 o East South Pole Latitude and Longitude together enable the fixing of position on the Earth s surface.
