How to Use Maps in This Textbook
Here are some basic map concepts and simple tips to help you get the
most from the maps in this textbook.
•There are many different types of maps intended to illustrate different
types of information. A few of the kinds most frequently used in his-
tory books are political, demographic, topographic, and military maps.
• Political maps traditionally show territorial boundaries (such as
state and country borders).
• Demographic maps use shading or cross-hatching to show
trends relating to population density and distribution.
• Topographic maps illustrate both natural and man-made surface
features, such as mountain ranges, rivers, and dams.
• Military mapszoom in on a specific battlefield or show a broad
theater of war, and illustrate troop movements over a period of time.
Many maps, such as the one in this foldout, combine multiple features
into one document, illustrating more than one kind of information.
•Always look at the scale, which allows you to determine the distance,
in miles or kilometers, between locations on the map.
•Examine the legend carefully (it’s usually contained in a boxed inset).
It explains the colors, shading, and symbols used on the map.
•If the map is accompanied by a caption, read it thoroughly. Captions
usually provide clues to what the author thinks is important about the
geography, and offer additional interesting details that may not be
covered in the surrounding text.
•Note the mountains, rivers, oceans and other topographic features
and consider how these features would affect human activities such
as agriculture, trade, communication, travel, and warfare during the
period being discussed.
•Refer often to the maps as you read surrounding text, and go back to
study them after you have finished reading. Maps can enhance your
understanding of events and places discussed.
