=Making Maps=


 * 1) Find a starting map (Google Maps, etc.)
 * 2) STOP! Make your bibliography for that map now.
 * 3) Edit your map. Some students do this in Keynote or pages then import it as an image file into their site or page. Remember - this is a map for the **geology** of the region. If you locate your stations, do so to emphasize **geologic features**.
 * 4) Make sure you have:
 * 5) Title
 * 6) Key (with symbols)
 * 7) Scale (see below)
 * 8) Compass or North arrow
 * 9) Create your **scale**using the following steps.
 * 10) Locate 2 stations on your map. Measure the distance between those stations using a ruler. Enter that number here. _ cm.
 * 11) Find the number of strides between those stations in real life. Enter that value here. strides.
 * 12) Record the distance in meters for each stride__.___ _m/stride.
 * 13) Multiply the number of strides by the distance per stride. _strides x m/stride =_ m =_ distance between stations.
 * 14) Divide the distance between stations in #5 by the map distance in #1. _m/ _cm =__ m/ 1cm on map.
 * 15) Using an editing tool, draw a 1 cm line on your map. It should look like [-]. Record the number of meters that line represents (your answer from number 5) above or below the line.
