This help me in Social Studies very much! Thank you!
This is a very good map
Maps like this show me where I am relative to other places and how all places relate to each other. That helps to imagine the people who live there, what their living conditions are etc.
It’s also interesting to see what the map makers consider important enough to reveal.
Thank you for this beautiful map.
This is very helpful for my US Studies!
The altitude for Mount Slide (NY) is wrong on the map. The value listed is in feet whereas you have it in meters.
This really helped with making a map for school. It showed where everything important is located so you don’t forget anything.
It amazes me how there are so many places around the world, and yet there are always people who live there. Every person has a home in different places.
Can you tell me please, what is the projection of this map?
This is very helpFul
