The art of mapping...

Hi everyone!
Today in class we discussed how to do mapping. The reason for this is because we have instead of drawing an island with buildings and roads and other details we have to make a MAP of our island. So we had to use our atlas's to find out what all the symbols are for forests, rivers, airports etc. Now all we have to do is the mapping, it will be tricky but i think i can do i i put some hard work into it.
