Geography 8 -- World Regional Geography
Map Test Locations Lists
The heart of the study of geography is acquiring and using knowledge of the location of cities, regions, countries, mountains, seas, oceans, rivers, and deserts. This list includes some of the more prominent places on the earth. When represented on a map they can be called map features.
The three map tests will each require you to locate 15 places from the following list on the blank world maps you purchased at the bookstore. All these places are mentioned in text or lecture and can be found in any standard atlas. All features for the tests will be selected from this list.
Map Test (click on regions for practice maps from BYU's geography department and Education Place -- All maps including World maps):
#1 will cover places from these regions: Europe, Russia & Periphery, North America
#2 covers: Middle America, South America, North Africa/Southwest Asia
#3 covers Subsaharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Pacific Realm
You can use the blank regional maps at the end of this section to help you record the locations of the various features; however you should also use the 1 extra blank world map you will buy in the bookstore to practice locating all of these places on it before taking each of the map tests.
