Map Journal Entry #9

http://www.mapsofindia.com/images/India-Natural-Resources.jpg




          This map is also a natural resources map. It is of the same format as the one in the previous entry so I assume that this is created by the same person or the same company. This map has the elements, legend, north arrow and title but it is indicated that this map is not to scale that is why the scale bar is not present.

          Since this is a natural resource map, scale will not be that important since this will not be used entirely for navigation. Compared to the previous entry, I think this one is better because this map is consistend with the type of symbols used. It did not use the coloring of the area as a symbol but instead it used different shapes with different colors. Also, the places are labelled unlike in the previous map. This will help the readers a lot because they will know what places have abundant resources, and they won’t be needing another map to know the name of the places.

          So in conclusion, this natural resources map is way a lot better than the one in the previous entry. This will provide a better information for the map readers.
