Welcome to Robert E. Lee High School and Advanced Placement Human Geography!
You are going to thoroughly enjoy this class. It will be a lot of work, but the benefits will
be tremendous. This is the most-relevant course you will ever take as a student here at
Robert E. Lee, and you will use the knowledge you gain from it in multiple other courses
during your time here and in college.
This year, you have an opportunity to get a jump start on your World Atlas assignment
during the Summer. Being familiar with the physical geography of the world will only
help you in this course.
Please have this set of Maps completed by Friday, September 14, 2018.
You will use these maps in various ways to earn Daily/Assessment Grades, such as:
*Open-Notes Map Quizzes *Map Analysis Work *Reading / Atlas Activities

APHG WORLD ATLAS PROJECT 2018 (MAP SET 1)
*On a political map the same colors never touch! This allows the reader to clearly see the boundaries between
countries and/or regions.
*On a Physical Map, colors often represent different features, and sometimes reflect different elevations. This allows
the reader to clearly see types of features. For AP Human Geog. Purposes, use the following:
+Mountains = Brown +Water = Blue--Do NOT color Seas or Oceans +Deserts = Yellow
+Plateaus = Orange +Plains & Lowlands = Green
+Misc. Features = Purple +Lines of Latitude & Political “Hot Spots” = Red
*Use colored pencils to shade countries and/or regions, markers tend to bleed and get messy!
*Label place names in BLACK INK. It will allow all labels to have clarity.
*You may use a fine point black Sharpie Pen if desired.
*If places are small, label with numbers inside a box= #22 - & indicate what place names the number
represents in the legend.
*All labels should be written in same direction. The reader should not have to turn the map in order to read all
the place names. EXCEPTION>Label mountains & rivers along their course(path). You may abbreviate “M”
for Mountain & “R” for River.
*All Maps should have a legend & a compass. *Be Neat. No HUGE LETTERING. . .
