Mapping Toolbox: Basic mapping skills Recap of BOLTSS; identifying major features on a map; being able to demonstrate urban spread on a map.

1. What goes on a map? Have you heard of BOLTSS before? Do you know what it stands for?

BOLTSS Border Orientation Legend Title Scale Source Fill in this section on Part 1 of your worksheet

Where is BOLTSS on this map?

Different types of maps- Birds eye or plan view Looking straight down

Different types of maps- Oblique view Looking down, but at an angle

Identifying major features on a map Task 1: World map On the blank world map, you are going to mark the locations of the following countries Use an atlas to help you find where the countries are Atlas hint: to quickly find a country, look up it’s name in the index in the back!

Countries to find Once you have labelled all your countries, add all the BOLTSS you can to your map Australia China Indonesia USA France Japan United Kingdom Ireland

Identifying major features on a map Task 2: Country map On the blank map of Indonesia, you are going to mark the locations of the following cities and geographical features Use an atlas to find where these are Atlas hint: to quickly find a city or other geographical feature, see if it’s name is also in the index in the back!

Places to find Cities: Geographical Features: Jakarta Java Sea Surabaya Medan Denpasar Makassar Semarang Kupang Geographical Features: Java Sea Banda Sea Puncak Jaya Barisan Mountains Malaysian border Papua New Guinea border Once you have labelled all your places, add all the BOLTSS you can to your map

Demonstrating urban spread on a map We can also see where people live in and across a country, a continent or even the world by looking at maps that show population distribution and density The shading scale here shows how many people that colour represents

Demonstrating urban spread on a map On the blank map of Australia, you are going to shade in the population distribution across the country Make sure you use different colours to represent different population levels This will then show the urban sprawl that is happening in cities Use this map from the ABS to help you: https://62e528761d0685343e1c-f3d1b99a743ffa4142d9d7f1978d9686.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/files/10688/area14mp/339bvsxr-1337061751.jpg
