To read a map, you need to understand its different parts.
First part of a map it´s the TITLE. The title tells you what the map is showing.
A COMPASS ROSE helps you find direction. A simple compass rose may look like a star. At the ends
of the corners the four CARDINAL DIRECTIONS would be listed. They are north, south, east, and west. The top corner
would point to the top of the map, which is north. The bottom corner points south to the bottom of the
map.
