The document provides definitions for various map reading terms. It defines relief maps, atlas maps, longitude and latitude lines, easting and northing lines, knolls, contour lines, degrees on a compass, protractors, grid convergence, what a map is, magnetic variation, and the two main types of compasses. It also describes how contour lines indicate slope and gives backward bearings that correspond to given forward bearings.
