Latitude

•Horizontal lines (left and right) on the globe•Measure the distance north and south of the Equator

Appendix AMapping

Latitude

•Measuring the distance: • If the degree number is north of the

equator, the degree number is followed by an N

• If the degree number is south of the equator, the degree number is followed by an S

Appendix AMapping

Longitude

•Vertical lines (up and down) on the globe•Measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian

Appendix AMapping

Longitude

•Measuring the distance: • If the degree number is east of the

prime meridian, the degree number is followed by an E

• If the degree number is west of the prime meridian, the degree number is followed by an W

Mapping Rules

1. Label first in pencil, check it, then go over in ink.

2. Always write labels horizontally (from left to right).

3. If drawing a line in order to label a smaller location, use a ruler

4. Label before coloring.5. Use map pencils only.6. Only color water blue, not land.7. Don’t forget: Title, Legend (key),

and/or compass8. Neatness counts!

Appendix AMapping

How does it work?

Lines of longitude and latitude help locate specific places on the globe. This is done by giving a longitude and a latitude line. Where they intersect gives a specific location.
