    A précis map represents categories of information like vegetation types in a location through symbols and colors. It focuses on one feature, for example showing grasslands to the west of a river and tropical rainforest near the river's access to water. Students are tasked with examining a topographic map, then creating their own précis map depicting the major vegetation types in the area using paper, a map, ruler, and colored pencils.

    PRECIS MAPS

    A précis map represents the locations of different categories of information, for example vegetation
    type.

    An example of a précis map:

    You can see that it is focusing only on one feature (vegetation type)
    You could be asked questions like:
     What is the vegetation type to the west of the river? (grasslands)
     Why do you think the tropical rainforest is located where it is? (it’s close to the river – access
    to water)

    Vegetation précis map for location ABC

    Dry sclerophyll forest

    grasslands

    Tropical rainforest

    You wouldn’t normally find


    these vegetation types so close
    together – it is just an example

    Task: Examine a topographic map of an area you have studied. Create a précis map showing the major
    vegetation types in the area.

    You will need:


     Blank paper
     A topographic map which includes vegetation
     A ruler
     Coloured pencils
