The director of the New World Historical Society and his board of trustees 

would like for your team to create a map that depicts the voyage that your 

chosen explorer took.

In order to provide the clearest and most informative map possible, your map 

must include:

A.) Bodies of water and Land masses crossed.

B.) Routes taken on your explorer's journey.  

C.) Labels for the continents, water bodies, landforms and dates of voyages.

D.) A Key and Symbols for landforms and routes taken

E.) Compass 

F.) A hand drawn picture or a picture from the internet of your explorer in 

the top right hand corner of your map.

Be sure to refer to Internet sites, books on your explorer, atlases and 

encyclopedias to gather information for your map. 

Use Google DRAW to insert a picture/ image of a map and them draw and label all the information needed using the tools.

Since some maps include topographic features, your team might refer to 

relief maps. Maps can be found at:

IF all else fails, you can go to google.com and try an advanced 

search of your explorer to find his travel route. YOU MUST SEE THE TEACHER BEFORE THIS OR YOU WILL NOT GET POINTS.
