Local map features

A simple map can show places you know, such as a school, a park and a bridge. It can also show natural features, such as a river, and human features, such as roads and buildings.

In the picture

  1. River: a natural water feature that flows across the land.
  2. School: a human-made building where children learn.
  3. Tree: a natural plant feature that grows in a park.
  4. Bridge: a human-made structure that carries a path over water.
