Objectives • By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: • Know what is an Ordnance Survey Map • State the definition of Map Grids • Estimate the location of islands on a map using a grid system. • Analyze a map to determine the location of places on a map. • Recognise the main OS symbols. • Use 4 figure grid references. • Use 6 figure grid references.

What is an Ordnance Survey Map? Ordnance Survey mapping is usually classified as either "large-scale" (in other words, more detailed) or "small-scale". The Survey's large-scale mapping comprises 1: 2, 500 maps for urban areas and 1: 10, 000 more generally. (The latter superseded the 1: 10, 560 "six inches to the mile" scale in the 1950 s. ) These large scale maps are typically used in professional land-use contexts and were available as sheets until the 1980 s, when they were digitized. Above is an example of an OS map showing a cross section of Palmetto Point Eleuthera.

O. S. Map Symbols Identify all the symbols you can spot on this Ordnance Survey map. Hint - There are 11 different symbols to identify!

MAP GRIDS On many maps one can see a number of vertical and horizontal lines. These line crisscross each other to form a neat pattern of squares known as a grid. This grid covers the entire map. Take a look at the grid below. It is similar to the ones you will see on a typical map.

Grid References Geographers use maps constantly but sometimes they can seem a little confusing. Maps are often covered by a grid. 32 31 This is so we can find places more easily. These grids have numbers. 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11

Grid References

Grid References in its Simplest Form Geographers use maps constantly but sometimes they can seem a little confusing. Maps are often covered by a grid squares which connects with each other at a point of intersection. This is so we can find places more 3 easily. These grids have numbers. Example 2 Lower Bouge B 2 Dunmore Town C 2 Mutton Fish Point C 1 1 A B C D

4 Figure Grid References To find the number 0431, first place your finger on the 04 line. Place a second finger on the 31 line. Draw your fingers together along the lines. 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 The square you are looking for is to the north-east of where the lines cross.

Giving a Four Figure Grid Reference Look at the grid below. One square has been shaded. How can you easily identify this square?
