data, land-use, cropping pattern, industries and transport etc.
2. Scales: Plain Linear, Statement - Diagonal and Comparative; Representative Fraction. 3. Types of maps. 4. Methods of showing relief- (hachures, shading, contours and layer tints) 5. Representation of different landforms by contours. Drawing of profiles: cross and long
