2 Name Due Date: September 14, 2018 APHG WORLD ATLAS PROJECT 2018 (MAP SET 1) *On a political map the same colors never touch! This allows the reader to clearly see the boundaries between countries and/or regions. *On a Physical Map, colors often represent different features, and sometimes reflect different elevations. This allows the reader to clearly see types of features. For AP Human Geog. Purposes, use the following: +Mountains = Brown +Water = Blue--Do NOT color Seas or Oceans +Deserts = Yellow +Plateaus = Orange +Plains & Lowlands = Green +Misc. Features = Purple +Lines of Latitude & Political Hot Spots = Red *Use colored pencils to shade countries and/or regions, markers tend to bleed and get messy! *Label place names in BLACK INK. It will allow all labels to have clarity. *You may use a fine point black Sharpie Pen if desired. *If places are small, label with numbers inside a box= #22 - & indicate what place names the number represents in the legend. *All labels should be written in same direction. The reader should not have to turn the map in order to read all the place names. EXCEPTION>Label mountains & rivers along their course(path). You may abbreviate M for Mountain & R for River. *All Maps should have a legend & a compass. *Be Neat. No HUGE LETTERING...
