Make sure you have your copy before your next outdoor adventure or family outing Design of the Atlas The Maryland/Delaware Atlas & Gazetteer includes 54 quadrangular maps covering the entire state. The scale of the maps is 1:103,000 (one unit of measure on the map represents 103,000 units of the same measure on the ground). Each Map page is composed of 218 minutes of longitude and 20 minutes of latitude, covering an area of appoximately 16 miles (26 km) wide by 23 miles (37 km) high. To Create a wall map of Missouri, join the 54 maps together using two atlases. The resulting mosaic will measure appoximately 12.5 feet wide by 8 feet high. Grid System For locating placenames and other map features, the maps are divided into rectangular sections defined by intersecting grid lines and identified by coordinates (A through D and 1 through 10) along sides and top of each page. Therefore, the coordinates A1, B2, C3, etc., identify rectangles approximately 3.3″ wide by 3.5″ high on the maps. All index and Gazetteer listings include page numbers and coordinates utilizing the grid system. Orientation The sides of the maps are aligned with true north/south. The tops and bottoms run true east/west. When using a compass to orient maps to actual field location, remember that magnetic north may be different from true north. In the eastern part of Delaware, near Dover, magnetic north is appoximately 12 degrees west of true north. However, magnetic north does vary as you move west in the state. When you are as far west as Cumberland, Maryland, align a compass by allowing the needle to rest 10 degrees west of 360 degrees, at 350 degrees, and then turn the Atlas so that 460 degrees and 180 degrees are parallel to the right and left borders of the map. When using the Atlas in a vehicle, you may want to orient the maps to the direction of travel. Although the Atlas will be upside down when traveling due south, reading it in this position may be easier than transposing left and right turns. Estimating Mileage One inch on the map represents approximately 1.6miles (2.6 km) on the ground (approximately 0.63″ to 1 mile). When driving unknown roads, note the odometer reading at the last known intersection, then estimate or measure the number of miles in tenths to the next destination shown on the map. If a road sign does not exist at the desired destination, the odometer reading will help confirm arrival at the new location. The odometer reading will usually be slightly higher than the map measurement because the maps show neither changes in grade nor every curve in a particular road. GPS Users’ Information The Global Positioning Systems (GPS) refers to the series of satellites developed and launched by the US Government for navigational purposes. Used in conjunction with a GPA receiver, these satellites can determine your exact position anywhere on the earth. GPS provides accurate information about latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and direction of travel. To aid in using GPS positional data, each state map in this Atlas includes tick marks and grid lines along the top, side, and bottom of each page. The tick marks show latitude and longitude at 1-minute intervals. Where space allows, the longitudinal grid lines are labeled at 5 minute intervals and latitudinal grid lines are labeled at 6 minute intervals. The grid lines are referenced in both conventional and decimal forms; the outer corners of each state map are only referenced in conventional coordinates. The tick marks and the grid lines are referenced in both conventional and decimal forms; the outer corners of each state map are only referenced in conventional coordinates. The tick marks and grid lines represent the World Geodetic System (WGS84)
