1. Map scale: refers to a relationship of a feature’s size on a map to its actual size on earth. Can be a statement (1 inch equals 1 mile), a ration (1:100) or a graphic bar. 2. Location: where something is described as either absolute [blank] or relative [blank] 3. Cartography: the science of map making. 4. Distance: how far apart two features are 5. Distortion: this happens when trying to make a three-dimensional world a flat map. There are four different kinds of this. 6. Projection: the process of transferring locations on the earth’s surface to a flat map. 7. U.S. Land Ordinance: made a system of townships divided by prime meridians and base lines. 8. GIS: global information system. Computer mapping that can store many layers of information. 9. Place: the unique location of a feature. 10. Region: areas distinguished by a combination of physical and cultural features. 11. Toponyms: a name for a place that assumes people know what you are talking about (east l.a., next to Stevenson middle school, etc.) 12. Site: a way of describing location by using the physical character of a place. 13. Situation: the location of a place relative to other places. 14. Mathematical Location: the location of any place on earth’s surface described precisely using meridian and parallels (a numbering system like longitude) 15. Longitude: a system of lines that run north to south and help locate places. 16. Latitude: a system of lines that run east to west. 17. Meridian: an arc drawn between the north and south poles. 18. Cultural Landscape: a way of describing a region as having its own unique combination of physical processes and social relationships. 19. Functional Region: organized around a focal point. Used to display economic information. 20. Vernacular Region: a place that people believe exists as part of their cultural identity. 21. Spatial Association: a way of thinking about regions that have complex processes like cancer rates that may be connected to physical location. 22. Culture: a body of beliefs, mental traits, and social forms that together make a tradition of a group of people. 23. Cartography: the science of map making 24. Physical Geography: about where features (like rivers mountains etc) are distributed on earths surface. 25. Human Geography: about the where and thy why people and activities are where they are.
