OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

A compass rose helps you locate places on a map. it shows the cardinal directions.

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

It gives you the information needed for the map to make sense. Maps often use symbols or colors to represent things, and the map key explains what they mean.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok next! Place an “X” on the approximate location of U.S. physical landmarks. Label them. You may add more landmarks that you know.
