APHG WORLD ATLAS PROJECT 2018 (MAP SET 1)

*On a political map the same colors never touch! This allows the reader to clearly see the boundaries between

countries and/or regions.

*On a Physical Map, colors often represent different features, and sometimes reflect different elevations. This allows

the reader to clearly see types of features. For AP Human Geog. Purposes, use the following:

+Mountains = Brown +Water = Blue--Do NOT color Seas or Oceans +Deserts = Yellow

+Plateaus = Orange +Plains & Lowlands = Green

+Misc. Features = Purple +Lines of Latitude & Political “Hot Spots” = Red

*Use colored pencils to shade countries and/or regions, markers tend to bleed and get messy!

*Label place names in BLACK INK. It will allow all labels to have clarity.

*You may use a fine point black Sharpie Pen if desired.

*If places are small, label with numbers inside a box= #22 - & indicate what place names the number

represents in the legend.

*All labels should be written in same direction. The reader should not have to turn the map in order to read all

the place names. EXCEPTION>Label mountains & rivers along their course(path). You may abbreviate “M”

for Mountain & “R” for River.

*All Maps should have a legend & a compass. *Be Neat. No HUGE LETTERING. . .
