Geographer’s Toolkit
Learning Goals:
•I can identify and use various types of maps, including general purpose, topographic, thematic and digital maps.
•I can determine locations on a map using directions and compass bearings

Types of Maps
• General Purpose Maps– A map drawn to scale using
symbols and colours to indicate major roads for transportation purposes
– Often includes parks, hospitals, and tourist attractions
– Can be both small scale (a country map) and large scale (a city map)

Types of Maps
General Purpose Map of the “Golden Horseshoe” (Niagara Falls to Clarington)

Types of Maps
• Topographic Maps– A map that indicates scale, using symbols and colours
for both natural and human features on the Earth’s surface
– Shows the Earth’s surface in great detail (large scale)– Depicts the height of land features (topography)– Often shows roads, settlements, vegetation cover,
power lines, etc.

Types of Maps
• Topographic Map of Blue Mountain (Collingwood)

Types of Maps
• Thematic Maps– A map that reveals the geographic patterns of
statistical data– Are designed to display distributions over the Earth’s
surface– Usually focuses on one
theme or topic (e.g., population distribution)

Types of Maps
• Thematic map showing electricity generating stations in Canada

Direction and Bearings
• On a map, we assume north is ‘up’
Compass Points
• On a compass (or compass rose), directions can be indicated.
• To read a compass, begin at north; continue to east, south, and west (clockwise).

Direction and Bearings
Cardinal points on a compass are;
•North (N), East (E), South (S), and west (W).
![Page 13: Locating Places on Maps – chapter 3 Geography of Canada Geographer’s Toolkit – chapter 3](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d975503460f94a80f05/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Direction and Bearings
Ordinal points on a compass are the points in between the cardinal points.
These points include;
•Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW), and Northwest (NW).

Direction and Bearings
Third level points include;
•North-northeast (NNE), East-northeast (ENE), East-southeast (ESE), South-southeast (SSE), South-southwest (SSW), West-southwest (WSW), West-northwest (WNW), North-northwest (NNW).

Angular bearings
• A compass rose is the shape of a circle.
• A circle has 360 degrees.
• As a result, a compass direction can be given a bearing or a number degree.
• North is 0 degrees or 360 degrees. East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees, and West is 270 degrees.
