Windward Camp Notes

A camping group is making a map of Windward Camp. They look at the area from above. Low hills rise near the top left of the map. The tents stand on flat land below the hills. A wide, rounded lake lies near the top right. A long, narrow river flows from the lake to the ocean. The ocean stretches along the bottom edge of the area.

The first map uses boxes to mark these places. The boxes make the real outlines simpler. Spaces without labels are land. The grid helps the group place each part, but it does not tell real distances. The group will use the map to plan trails on paper. Later, they will build a model with raised land and cutout water shapes.
