 Direction is the most important thing you need to know when you're lost in the
rainforest. Direction is the way that you have to travel to get from one place or
object to another place or object. It's usually measured in terms of compass
directions/cardinal directions: north, south, east, and west. North is directly up on
standard maps; south is directly down; east is directly right; and west is directly
left. If this is ever not the case, there will be something on the map that tells you
this. This will usually be an arrow, a cross, or some kind of pointed star that
shows which direction is north.
 Ordinal directions refer to the direction found at the point equally between each
cardinal direction. Ordinal directions are: northeast (NE), southeast (SE),
southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). Ordinal directions are also known
as intercardinal directions. Ordinal directions refer to the direction found at the
point equally between each cardinal direction. Ordinal directions are: northeast
(NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). Ordinal directions
are also known as intercardinal directions

 A map legend or key is a visual explanation of the symbols used on
the map. It typically includes a sample of each symbol (point, line, or

area), and a short description of what the symbol means. ... Creating
a well laid out legend will enhance the overall gestalt of
the maps visual appearance.
