How Can We RecogniseLand Use on a Map?

How would you recognise land use

on a map?

On a map, the names of buildings give us clues as to

how the land might be used – names of shops, for example, would show retail

areas.

Houses are usually easy to spot as they

are in rows.

A school usually suggests a

Industrial buildings are larger than

If you still can’t work it out, use the Street View option to take a walk along the street to see what the buildings look like.
