The following definitions relate to how and where indexes are used:

DEFINE

The Voortrekker Monument is a famous landmark in Pretoria.

Reference Something, usually a set of letters or figures, that serves to identify somebody or something, i.e., a point on a map.

Example:

Represents an orchard or vineyard on a topographic map.

Most maps are divided into a grid system, to make it easier to find a specific point of interest. These maps use variables down both sides of the map, so that each point has two variables, from north to south and from west to east. The world is also divided into a grid system called coordinates, which will be discussed in detail in lesson 5. However, the grid system is very similar. Look at the following map, which has been divided into a grid system.

We can easily find a place by using a grid system. The columns are represented by numbers, which appear at the top and/or bottom of the page. The rows are identified by letters appearing on the left and/or right of the map. Any grid can quickly be identified using a letter and a number, e.g., D4. Go to row D, then move to column 4. Where these two (row and column) meet, you’ll find D4.
