All maps have a title. The title lets the reader know what kind of information is being presented.
Because you can make a map about almost anything, the title is very important and should be the first thing you look at when using a map.

Cartographers use small drawings, symbols, lines, or colors to stand for different things when they make their maps. Symbols stand for something and often look like or suggest the features they are representing.
The symbols are contained in the legend.

Every map has a legend, also known as a key. A key is the information that opens the door to reading the map. It tells you what the symbols, lines, and colors mean.

Scale measures distance on a map. It shows the ratio between the distance on the map, and the distance in real life.

As you probably already know, a compass is an instrument that shows which direction you are facing or traveling.
An ordinary compass is a round, glass-covered box with a needle inside it. The needle always points north.

The arrows of the compass rose point to these directions: north, east, south, and west. These directions are called cardinal directions, or the cardinal points, of the compass.
Between each cardinal direction is an intermediate direction. The intermediate directions are northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast.
