Treasure Map Grid Reference Worksheet - Free Printable

Okay, now I have a clear view of the entire treasure map grid. I can see the columns labeled A through F and the rows numbered 1 through 4. To answer the first question, "What animal can you see located at A1?", I need to look at the bottom-left cell of the grid. In that cell, I can clearly see a large blue whale with a small wooden boat on its back. Now, I will move on to the second question.

Question 2: X marks the spot to find the treasure. Can you give the grid reference to help the pirates find the treasure?
I need to locate the red 'X' on the map. Looking at the grid, I can see a red 'X' in the cell that is in column C and row 3. So, the grid reference for the treasure is C3. I will now answer the third question.

Question 3: What can you see at grid reference C4?
I need to look at the cell in column C and row 4. In this cell, there is a large pirate ship sailing on the water. Now, I will answer the fourth question.

Question 4: What is the grid reference for Skull Island?
I need to find the island with a skull on it. I can see an island with a large white skull in the top-left corner of the map. This island is located in column A and row 4. So, the grid reference for Skull Island is A4. Finally, I will answer the fifth question.

Question 5: Can you find the start of the path the pirates must follow to the treasure? What is the grid reference?
The path is marked by a dashed red line. The path starts from the bottom of the map and winds its way up to the treasure at C3. The very beginning of the path is located in cell D1, where the path emerges from the bottom edge of the map near some trees. Therefore, the start of the path is at D1.

Here are the answers to all five questions:
1. The animal located at A1 is a whale.
2. The grid reference for the treasure (marked with an 'X') is C3.
3. At grid reference C4, you can see a pirate ship.
4. The grid reference for Skull Island is A4.
5. The start of the path the pirates must follow to the treasure is at grid reference D1.
