Maps

All maps have five basic elements to help you understand them (numbers match image below):
 * 1) A **title**, to tell you the "who," "where," and "when" about the map
 * 2) **Orientation** (north, south, east, or west)
 * 3) **Scale** to determine distance
 * 4) A **legend** that explains the shapes, colors, and symbols used
 * 5) A **grid** or **coordinates** that help show where the map fits into a larger global area
