  2. 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 • Large-scale=more detail, cities • 1 inch/5miles Small-scale=less detail, regions, continents 1 inch/150 miles

  3. Maps • Mercator Projection • 1569, used for navigation to plot straight lines based on compass directions

  4. Maps • Robinson Projection • Shows better shape, but lacks directional utility

  5. Maps • Goode’s interrupted projection • Minimizes specific distortions, but distance and direction distorted

  6. Maps • Cylindrical Planar • Conic

  7. Maps • Contour Lines – Isolines connect points of equal or constant value (temperature, elevation, culture regions)
