Introduction
Perhaps no part of the social studies curriculum has so
many applications outside the classroom as using maps.
On a daily basis, we use maps to find our way in the world:
from getting off the right highway exit to understanding
the latest trends in culture, politics, and demography.
The maps in this book represent a wide range of map
skills and cartographic styles. The intent is to expose
students to a variety of maps so that they can develop
skills to apply to the maps they encounter in the real

world or in other content areas. Some map skills, such as
understanding longitude and latitude, are notoriously
difficult for students to grasp, and these might require
additional explanation or practice. Other maps, such as
product maps, are fairly straightforward, and most
students will be able to proceed on their own in working
out the puzzles for these. The maps in this book are
organized roughly in ascending order of difficulty.
Maps are also fun! They offer creative ways to present
all sorts of information in a visual format. They can be
used as a springboard for discussions about geography,
history, economics, and current events. Many of these
puzzles are well suited to serve as extension activities for
other studies. For example, the Products: Montana map
could easily complement the study of U.S. geography or
national economics. We hope that your students will find
the maps fun and engaging and the crossword puzzles
challenging and thought-provoking.

Highways
Arizona
Highway maps are one of the most popular kinds of maps around.
People use them everyday, when they are driving on vacation, or just
finding their way around a new place. Highway maps don’t just show
where roads lead to. They also show the different types
of roads: big interstate highways as well as small and
winding state highways.

1846 After 1876 Although horses had pulled carts along rails
in Europe for many years, the first railway
powered by a steam locomotive was built in Red

call the locomotive the “iron horse.”

A precipitation map shows the amount of snow, rain, sleet, and hail that
falls to the earth in a place on average. The greater the precipitation in
a place, the wetter it is. Precipitation is one of the most important parts
of climate, and it can have a great effect on the way people in a place
live. For example, the crops people grow depend a great deal on the
precipitation where they live.

Antarctica
The continent of Antarctica was the last continent to be accurately
mapped. It was difficult because it lies under snow and ice that in some
places is more than a mile thick. Still, this frozen land mass at the
bottom of the earth has many interesting features, from ice shelves to
glaciers. It also has interesting wildlife, such as penguins and seals.

Scale
Kansas
Scale is the relationship between distances shown on a map and the real
distances on earth. Maps with larger scale, such as Map B, show more
detail than maps with smaller scale, such as Map A. The scale of a map
is shown by a straight line with divisions that tell how many miles or
kilometers equals one inch. Using this scale, you can measure a distance
on a map and then figure out the real distance in miles or kilometers on
earth. You will need a ruler to answer some of the questions in this puzzle.

baseball. The maps on this page show the changes of the teams in the
major leagues from 1952 to 1995. The changes detailed on these maps
reflect many other changes in America, such as the movement of people

Population
Europe
One kind of map that shows interesting information about people is a
population map. Population maps show the number of people who live
in a given area, usually a square mile or square kilometer. A city, for
example, has greater population than a rural area. One glance at a
population map will show you that cities are much more crowded than
the countryside. The map below shows where the 700 million people of
Europe call home.

Natural Hazards
Australia and Oceania
One of the most exciting and frightening parts of geography is the
natural hazard that appears suddenly, often causing tremendous
damage. Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis (tidal waves), and icebergs
are examples, but even deserts can greatly change the landscape and the
lives of people who live in a place. This map shows some of the natural
hazards found in Australia and the islands that make up Oceania.

Rain Forest
South America
Maps can be used to show how the environment changes over time.
This map shows the decreasing size of the tropical rain forest in South
America, which is shrinking because trees are cut for lumber and to make
way for farms and roads. Scientists can use these maps to predict how
changes in the rain forest will impact other parts of the environment,
from the flow of the Amazon River to the climate of the entire world.

Longitude and Latitude

Asia
No matter where you are on earth, you can find out your location by
using a special system called the global grid. This grid is made up of
40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 16
imaginary lines called latitude and longitude. If you imagine that the
earth is an apple, lines of latitude, also called parallels, would slice the
apple across into disks. The line around the middle is called the equator,
and everything above that line is north; everything below it is south.
Lines of longitude, also called meridians, would slice the apple from top
to bottom into wedges. These lines meet at the top of the earth at the
North Pole and at the bottom at the South Pole. A line that runs from

north to south through England is called the Prime Meridian. All lines
to the right of this are east; all lines to the left are west.
