Learn the skill

Read all three entries in the supplied map legend. Find the place first, then return its symbol. A symbol is a convention, not a tiny photograph of the place.

Worked example

Key: square = school, circle = well, triangle = hill. A well uses a circle on this map.

Example map key: a circle means pond, triangle means tree, and square means hut. Each question supplies its own legend; symbols need not keep the same meaning across maps.

Would you believe it?

North does not have to be at the top of a map. A direction arrow or compass rose tells you how the map is oriented.
