- The map displays the United States with a grid of latitude and longitude lines.
- Latitude lines run horizontally and are labeled in degrees north (e.g., 30°N, 40°N, 50°N).
- Longitude lines run vertically and are labeled in degrees west (e.g., 120°W, 110°W, 100°W, 90°W, 80°W, 70°W).
- The grid helps locate specific points on the map using coordinates (latitude, longitude).
- For example, a point at the intersection of 40°N and 100°W is located in the central United States.
- The map covers latitudes from approximately 25°N to 50°N and longitudes from approximately 65°W to 125°W.
- This type of map is useful for navigation, geography education, and understanding spatial relationships within the U.S.
