Working with Maps

The video tutorial introduces different types of maps, focusing on topographic maps. It explains how to read and use topographic maps by identifying features such as contour lines, elevation, and symbols for human-made and natural features. The tutorial guides students through activities like finding rivers, lakes, and roads on a map, and understanding contour intervals. It also covers analyzing topographic features like steep hills, valleys, and flat areas using contour lines.
