a graphic representation of a portion of the Earth's
surface drawn to scale, as seen from above. It uses
colors, symbols, and labels to represent features
found on the ground.
-The ideal representation would be realized if every
feature of the area being mapped could be shown in
true shape.
A map is defined as -The purpose of a map is to provide information on
the existence, location, and distance between ground
features, such as populated places and routes of
travel and communication. It also indicates variations
in terrain, heights of natural features, and the extent of
vegetation cover.
-All operations conducted require maps; however, the
finest maps available are worthless unless the map
user knows how to read them.
, A map is considered equipment. To use it properly,
you should read the instructions.
These instructions on the outer edges of the map are
Marginal Information
called marginal information.
All maps are different so examine the marginal
information on each map carefully.
The top margin of the map helps you to identify the
Marginal Information (Top
specific area covered as well as the age and scale of
Margin 1-6)
the map.
The sheet name is found in bold print at the center of
the top and in the lower left area of the map margin. A
1 Sheet Name (Top map is generally named for the settlement contained
Margin) within the area covered by the sheet or for the largest
natural feature located within the area at the time the
map was drawn.
The sheet number is bolded in the upper right and
lower left areas of the margin and in the center box of
the adjoining sheets diagram, which is found in the
lower right margin.
2 Sheet Number (Top It is used as a reference number to link specific maps
Margin) to overlays, operations orders, and plans.
For maps at 1:100,000 scale and larger, sheet numbers
are based on an arbitrary system that makes possible
the ready orientation of maps at scales of 1:100,000,
1:50,000, and 1:25,000.
, The map series name is found in the same bold print
as the sheet number in the upper left corner of the
margin.
The name given to the series is generally that of a
major political subdivision, such as a state within the
United States or a European nation.
3 Series Name (Top
Margin)
A map series usually includes a group of similar maps
at the same scale and on the same sheet lines or
format designed to cover a particular geographic
area.
It may also be a group of maps that serve a common
purpose, such as the military city maps.
The scale is found both in the upper left margin after
the series name and in the center of the lower margin.
The scale note is a representative fraction that gives
the ratio of a map distance to the corresponding
4 Scale (Top Margin)
distance on the Earth's surface.
For example, the scale note 1:50,000 indicates that
one unit of measure on the map equals 50,000 units
of the same measure on the ground.
The series number is found in both the upper right
margin and the lower left margin. It is a sequence
5 Series Number (Top
reference expressed either as a four-digit numeral
Margin)
(1125) or as a letter, followed by a three- or four-digit
numeral (M661; T7110).
, The edition number is found bolded in the upper right
area of the top margin and the lower left area of the
bottom margin.
Editions are numbered consecutively; therefore, if you
6 Edition Number (Top
have more than one edition, the highest numbered
Margin)
sheet is the most recent.
This date is important when determining how
accurately the map data might be expected to match
what you will encounter on the ground.
This portion of the map includes information that
helps to interpret the map. It provides correlation
Marginal Information between actual terrain and man-made features and
(Bottom Margin 7-14) the map's topographic symbols. Some information
found in the bottom margin is repeated from the top
margin.
The index to boundaries diagram appears in the lower
or right margin of all sheets.
7 Boundaries (Bottom
Margin) This diagram, which is a miniature of the map, shows
the boundaries that occur within the map area, such
as county lines and state boundaries.
Maps at all standard scales contain a diagram that
illustrates the adjoining sheets. The diagram usually
contains nine rectangles, but the number may vary
depending on the locations of the adjoining sheets.
8 Adjoining Sheets All represented sheets are identified by their sheet
(Bottom Margin) numbers. Sheets of an adjoining series of the same
scale, whether published or planned, are represented
by dashed lines. The series number of the adjoining
series is indicated along the appropriate side of the
division line between the series.
