Some maps have a key. A key is used to describe
the pictures that you draw.

I can make a key.

pond
I drew the same picture I used on my map
and wrote the word pond on the side of it.

I did the same thing for each picture on my map.
Now I have a key for my neighborhood map.

Sometimes maps have a compass.
A compass is also easy to draw.

First I drew a box with two lines in it.

Next I drew arrows on each side of my lines.

Finally I put my directions.
Directions tell me how to get from one place to
another.
