  1. Land Navigation Identify Topographic Symbols on a Military Map

  2. Terminal Learning Objective Action: Identify Topographic Symbols on a Military Map Conditions: Given a standard 1:50,000 scale topographical map Standards: Correctly identify the topographic symbols, colors, and marginal information on a military map

  3. Definition of a Map A map is a graphic representation of the earth’s surface, or part of it, drawn to scale as seen from above, with manmade and natural features appearing as symbols, lines, and colors.

  7. Colors on a Map Indicates cultural (man-made) features such as buildings, roads, spot elevations, and all labels. Combined to identify cultural features, all relief features, non-surveyed spot elevations, and elevation such as contour lines on red-light readable maps. Identifies vegetation with military significance such as woods, orchards, and vineyards.
