Let me carefully examine the map and answer each question step by step.
First, I need to understand the legend:
- Black circle = Population 5,000
- Black square = Population 1,000
- Police Station = police car icon
- Train Station = train icon
- Baxter Beach = palm tree icon
- Highway 109 = solid line with "109"
- Interstate 15 = solid line with "15"
- Local roads = dashed lines
Now let me locate each place:
- Allen City: black circle → population 5,000
- Benton: black square → population 1,000
- Farmerville: black square → population 1,000
- Train Station: near Farmerville, on Donovan Drive
- Police Station: near Farmerville, on Donovan Drive
- Baxter Beach: near Farmerville, on Donovan Drive
- Highway 109: vertical road on left side
- Springhill Road: diagonal dashed road from top right to bottom middle
Let me answer each question:
1. Combined population of Allen City (5,000) + Benton (1,000) + Farmerville (1,000) = 7,000
2. Which local road intersects Highway 109? Looking at the map, Donovan Drive (dashed line) intersects Highway 109 near Farmerville.
3. Train station direction from Benton: Benton is in upper left, train station is in lower left → south
4. Police station direction from Baxter Beach: Both are near Farmerville on Donovan Drive. Looking at their positions, police station is northwest of Baxter Beach.
5. How to get from Benton to Springhill Road: Benton is in upper left quadrant, Springhill Road is the diagonal dashed road. You would go east from Benton to reach Springhill Road.
6. Train station direction from Farmerville: Train station is on Donovan Drive, Farmerville is the black square nearby. Looking at positions, train station is south of Farmerville.
7. Baxter Beach direction from Allen City: Allen City is center-right, Baxter Beach is lower-left → southwest
8. Benton has largest population? Benton = 1,000, Allen City = 5,000 → False
Let me double-check question 4 more carefully. Looking at the map: Baxter Beach (palm tree) is at the bottom of Donovan Drive, police station (police car) is above it on Donovan Drive, so police station is north of Baxter Beach, not northwest. Since they're on the same road going vertically, it's directly north.
For question 5: From Benton, you'd go east along County Road 7 or down to Donovan Drive, then east to Springhill Road. The most direct is probably east to where Springhill Road begins.
Let me verify all answers systematically:
1. 5,000 + 1,000 + 1,000 = 7,000 ✓
2. Donovan Drive intersects Highway 109 ✓
3. Train station is south of Benton ✓
4. Police station is north of Baxter Beach ✓
5. Go east from Benton to reach Springhill Road ✓
6. Train station is south of Farmerville ✓
7. Baxter Beach is southwest of Allen City ✓
8. False (Allen City has 5,000, Benton has 1,000) ✓
Final Answer:
