Working With Maps

As we move our study of United States History towards the Civil War, geography becomes a significant topic for us to explore.  North, South, Mason-Dixon Line, rivers, hills, fields-all will be part of our vocabulary as we become immersed in this significant event.  In order to prepare, it's important to pause and see what we know and what we can learn from American geography at this time.  To do so, today we will look at a series of maps that help to provide information about the United States from its outset through the Antebellum Era.  Click on the links below for today's work. You may work with a partner sitting next to you to discuss the maps.  One of you may have the  maps open on your screen while the other prepares the worksheet on theirs.  One copy of the worksheet will be checked in at the end of class.
The worksheet is divided into three sections. Use the timer function on google chrome to allow yourself about 18 minutes per section.
