Cartographic Rules For All Maps. PARTS OF A MAP Cartographic Rules For All Maps.

PARTS OF A MAP All maps must include these parts 1. TITLE 2. SCALE 3. DIRECTION 4. BORDER, MARGIN, OR FRAME 5. LEGEND

MAP TITLE The TITLE should be within the MAP FRAME or BORDER The TITLE should be at the TOP of the map when possible The TITLE should NOT block out ANY of the map’s information TITLE information should try to include, Where, What, and When

SCALE A MAP SCALE is a way of reducing, or shortening actual distance on the earth’s surface so that it fits on the map – It is a ratio between the distance on the map and the distance in real life.

SCALE Types Of Scales: 1. Direct Statement eg:1CM Equals (=) 1KM 2. Linear Scale 3. Representative Fraction eg: 1:100 000 1:1 is real life, 1:200 is a large scale because it shows a lot of earth’s detail.

DIRECTION All maps should have a DIRECTION ARROW North should ALWAYS be at the TOP of the paper A COMPASS ROSE should have a minimum of 4 points and a maximum of 16

BORDER OR FRAME All maps MUST have two BORDERS or FRAMES. – One should be around the map (Map border) and one should be enclose the map, legend, direction, title and scale (Frame border). The border must be of EQUAL PROPORTIONS in other words a square or a rectangle. All titles, legend, and any labeling must be WITHIN the frame border

LEGEND All maps should have a LEGEND The legend must be within a border in a place on a map that DOES NOT block other information or labels The direction and scale CAN be in the legend box The Legend should reflect the units that the map is trying to display.

LETTERING Guidelines for better lettering on maps: Lettering should be parallel to base of map where possible. River names can curve to follow the river course. Lettering for similar features such as cities, should be the same size. Larger features usually have larger letters. Lettering should clearly indicate the feature to which it refers. Large letters should not blot out other map information. Words should not cross one another. The size of the lettering depends on the amount of information needed for the map.

THE END!
