With easy-to-read text and full-color photos, this book walks readers through the steps it takes to create a map in a logical, step-by-step process. Geographical concepts such as scale, projection, and orientation become fun as readers are encouraged to select a title, design, and purpose for their map. The book also discusses the difference between reference maps and thematic maps, prompting readers to think about how mapping applies to their everyday lives. Colorful maps and diagrams show readers that they can map anything from their world, such as their classroom at school, their bedroom at home, or an imaginary place all their own. Informative sidebars, bold glossary terms, and an index enhance the engaging text and graphics.
