Sponge's AP Human Geography Vol. 1 - Analyzing Maps

You should do this EVERY TIME you see a map!

First ask yourself - What is the obvious about the map? The Literal?

• Title

• Date

• Literal information (read key)

• Area shown on map

Then, Go Beyond....

• Are there patterns? What are they and why are they there?

• Can you make any comparisons?

• What can you hypothesize?

• Can you make educated predictions?

• Evaluate the information you see

• What conclusions can be drawn?

• Are there relationships between other places not shown?

• Are there implications?

• Is there information missing to help you understand?

And Finally....

• What does this map help you understand better? How/Why?

• What other questions do you now have?
