As you study the historic development of the subject, you may develop a map to see the geographic setting of that history.

There is no filling-in of areas with solid coloring.<\/li>\n<li>Rivers, shorelines of lakes, coastlines of seas and oceans are outlined with blue. Rivers are outlined along <em>one side <\/em>of the drawn line.<\/li>\n<li>Outlining will follow along the exact course of the printed lines.<\/li>\n<li>Labeling is to be straight and even on the map. Drawing two lines with a ruler will provide control of the size of letter.<\/li>\n<li>All labeling is in manuscript. The size of letters may vary, i.e. names of countries will be larger than names of cities.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2909\" src=\"https:\/\/pilgriminstitute.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/north-america-map.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> Katherine Dang, \u201cGeography: An American Christian Approach\u201d, <em>A Guide to American Christian Education for the Home and School<\/em> (Camarillo: American Christian History Institute, 1987), page 272.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2910 \" title=\"Maps provide an excellent opportunity for the student to produce a geographical essay which confirms his comprehension of the Idea covered.
