Practice map skills with this educational worksheet featuring a local map and directional questions.

Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the map.

We are told:
> “Pretend that you are taking a telephoto lens (like binoculars) view from one of the areas to answer the questions.”

That means we’re looking at the map as if we’re standing in one location and seeing what’s around us — but for these questions, we just need to read the map carefully.

Also note: The compass rose shows:
- N = North (up)
- S = South (down)
- E = East (right)
- W = West (left)

Question 1: The dairy farm is located on ______ Road.

Look at the map. Find “Dairy Farm”. It’s near the bottom right. Below it, there’s a road labeled Wheeler Road. So the dairy farm is on Wheeler Road.

✔ Answer: Wheeler

Question 2: The church is in the N-E-W corner area of the school.

Find “Church” and “Chestnut Hill School”.

The school is in the top left. The church is to the right of the school (east), and slightly below? Wait — let’s check directions.

From the school:
- North would be up → nothing above the school except maybe part of Midland Drive? But church is not north.
- East is right → yes, church is to the east of the school.
- West is left → no, church is not west.
- South is down → church is slightly south? Actually, looking at the map, the church is directly east of the school, maybe a tiny bit south, but mostly east.

But the question says: “in the N-E-W corner area” — that seems like a typo or misprint. Probably meant “N-E-S-W” or perhaps “which direction?”

Wait — re-read: “The church is in the ___ corner area of the school.” And options are N, E, W, S.

Looking again: From the school, the church is to the East. Because if you stand at the school and look east (right), you see the church.

So answer should be E.

But wait — the blank says “N-E-W corner area” — that might be a mistake in the worksheet. Maybe it’s supposed to say “in which direction from the school?”

Given the context, and since the church is clearly to the east of the school, we’ll go with E.

✔ Answer: E

*(Note: If the worksheet literally says “N-E-W corner”, that doesn’t make sense — probably a typo. We assume it’s asking for direction from school to church.)*

Question 3: Sanford Lake is in the S-E-W-N side of the mall.

Find “Midland Mall” and “Sanford Lake”.

Mall is in the upper middle-right. Sanford Lake is below and to the right of the mall.

From the mall:
- South = down → yes, lake is south
- East = right → yes, lake is also east of the mall? Let’s see: mall is centered, lake is southeast of it.

Actually, looking closely: The mall is a square. Sanford Lake is drawn below and to the right of the mall → so Southeast.

But the question says: “in the ___ side of the mall” and gives options S, E, W, N.

Since it’s both south and east, but if we have to pick one, which is more accurate?

Looking at alignment: The lake is directly south of the eastern edge of the mall? Or is it more south than east?

Actually, visually, the center of the lake is southeast of the center of the mall. But since the question likely expects one cardinal direction, and given how maps work, if something is diagonally placed, sometimes they accept the primary direction.

Wait — let’s think differently. The question may mean: “relative to the mall, where is the lake?” and the answer choices are single letters.

In many such worksheets, if an object is southeast, they might still expect “S” or “E” depending on orientation.

But here’s a better way: Look at the position relative to the mall’s boundaries.

The mall is a rectangle. Sanford Lake is entirely below the mall’s southern boundary? Not exactly — it overlaps vertically? No, actually, the lake starts below the mall and extends further down and right.

Actually, comparing centers: Mall center vs Lake center → lake is southeast.

But since the question forces us to choose one letter, and given that in the map, the lake is more prominently to the south of the mall (because the mall is higher up, and lake is lower down), I’d lean toward S.

Wait — let me double-check with coordinates mentally.

Imagine grid:

- Mall: roughly row 2, column 4 (if we divide map into sections)
- Lake: row 3, column 5 → so south and east.

But perhaps the intended answer is S, because the lake is primarily south of the mall’s main body.

Alternatively, maybe it’s E? Let’s see other clues.

Actually, looking back at the map: There’s a road called “Eastern Road” running diagonally. The lake is east of that road? Not helpful.

Another approach: In question 4, it asks about travel between Saginaw and Midland — which are on opposite sides.

For now, let’s hold this and come back.

Wait — perhaps I made a mistake. Let’s look again.

On the map:

- Midland Mall is in the upper right quadrant.
- Sanford Lake is drawn just below and to the right of the mall — so definitely southeast.

But since the question says “___ side”, and options are single directions, and in educational materials, when something is southeast, they often accept either S or E, but usually the dominant one.

However, notice that the lake is almost directly south of the eastern part of the mall. Hmm.

Perhaps the best answer is S, because if you draw a vertical line down from the mall, the lake is under it.

Actually, let’s count pixels mentally: The top of the lake is aligned with the bottom of the mall? Approximately yes. So the lake is south of the mall.

And horizontally, it’s shifted right, but the vertical displacement is clearer.

I think S is acceptable.

But wait — let’s see the actual layout:

The mall is a square. The lake is an oval shape positioned such that its northern edge is just below the southern edge of the mall, and it extends further east.

So technically, it’s south-southeast.

Given that, and since “S” is an option, and it’s clearly south of the mall, I’ll go with S.

✔ Answer: S

*(Self-correction: Upon second thought, in many standardized tests, if an object is southeast, and only one choice allowed, they might expect "SE" but since it's not an option, and the question says "side", perhaps it's implying the nearest cardinal direction. Given that the lake is closer to being south than east relative to the mall's center, I'll stick with S.)*

Actually, let's try a different method. Imagine standing at the mall. Which way do you turn to face the lake? You'd turn southeast. But since we must choose one, and the lake is more southward in terms of latitude (y-axis), I think S is fine.

Final decision: S

Question 4: Front runs between Saginaw and Midland?

This seems poorly worded. Probably means: “Which front [road?] runs between Saginaw and Midland?”

Looking at the map: Saginaw is in the bottom left. Midland is in the top center.

What connects them? There’s a diagonal road labeled Eastern Road that goes from near Saginaw up to near Midland.

Specifically, Eastern Road starts near Saginaw (bottom left) and goes northeast to pass near Midland Mall and Church, ending near Midland label.

Yes! Eastern Road connects the Saginaw area to the Midland area.

So the road that runs between them is Eastern Road.

But the question says: “Front runs between...” — probably a typo for “Which road runs between...”

Answer: Eastern Road

But the blank is probably expecting the name.

Looking at the format, it’s a fill-in-the-blank.

So: Eastern

✔ Answer: Eastern

Question 5: The road which travels in a north-to-south direction is ______.

We need a road that goes straight up-down (north-south).

Look at roads:

- Chestnut Hill Drive: goes from school down to... well, it’s vertical? From school (top left) down to near Saginaw? Yes, it appears to run north-south.

Check: Starts at Chestnut Hill School (north end) and goes south to connect with Eastern Road near Saginaw. So yes, it’s oriented north-south.

Other roads:

- Wheeler Road: horizontal, east-west.

- Eastern Road: diagonal, northeast-southwest.

- Midland Drive? Not labeled as a road, but there’s a dot for Midland.

Actually, Chestnut Hill Drive is clearly drawn as a vertical line — so north-south.

Is there another? What about the road going to Dairy Farm? That’s Wheeler Road — east-west.

So only Chestnut Hill Drive fits.

✔ Answer: Chestnut Hill Drive

But the blank might expect just the name without “Drive”? Looking at previous answers, they used full names.

In question 1, it was “Wheeler Road”, so probably include “Drive”.

But let’s see the space — it’s a short blank. However, in the map, it’s labeled “Chestnut Hill Drive”.

To be precise, we should write the full name.

But perhaps the worksheet expects “Chestnut Hill” only? Unlikely.

Looking at question 1: “located on ______ Road” → answered “Wheeler”

Similarly, here: “is ______” → probably “Chestnut Hill Drive”

But to match format, maybe just “Chestnut Hill”?

No, because in the map, it’s “Chestnut Hill Drive”, and in Q1, they specified “Road” in the sentence, so here no specification, so full name.

Actually, rereading: “The road which travels... is ______.” So it’s asking for the name of the road.

On the map, it’s “Chestnut Hill Drive”.

So answer: Chestnut Hill Drive

But let’s confirm direction: From top (school) to bottom (near Saginaw) — that’s southward. So yes, north-to-south.

Perfect.

✔ Answer: Chestnut Hill Drive

---

Now, compiling all answers:

1. Wheeler
2. E
3. S
4. Eastern
5. Chestnut Hill Drive

Wait — for question 4, is it “Eastern” or “Eastern Road”? The question says: “Front runs between...” — probably “Which road runs between...”, and the answer should be the road name.

In the map, it’s “Eastern Road”, so perhaps “Eastern Road”.

But in the blank, it might be short. Looking at the original image description, the blanks are small.

In question 1, it was “______ Road” so they put “Wheeler”

In question 4, it’s “______ runs between...” so likely “Eastern Road” or just “Eastern”?

But “Eastern” alone isn't a road name; it’s “Eastern Road”.

Similarly, in question 5, it’s “is ______” so full name.

To be consistent, for Q4, since it says “runs between”, and the road is named “Eastern Road”, I think we should put “Eastern Road”.

But let’s see the exact wording: “Front runs between Saginaw and Midland?”

Probably typo for “Which road runs between...”

And in the answer, it should be the name.

In many such worksheets, they expect the full name as labeled.

So for Q4: Eastern Road

But earlier I said “Eastern” — let’s correct.

Actually, in the map, the label is “Eastern Road”, so answer should be “Eastern Road”.

Similarly, for Q5, “Chestnut Hill Drive”.

For Q1, since it said “on ______ Road”, they want “Wheeler” (without “Road” because it’s already in the sentence).

For Q4, the sentence is “______ runs between...”, so we need the full name including “Road”.

Same for Q5: “is ______” → full name.

So:

Q1: Wheeler
Q2: E
Q3: S
Q4: Eastern Road
Q5: Chestnut Hill Drive

But for Q2 and Q3, they are single letters.

Now, final verification:

Q1: Dairy farm on Wheeler Road → correct.

Q2: Church is east of school → correct.

Q3: Sanford Lake is south of mall → approximately correct; some might argue southeast, but S is acceptable.

Q4: Eastern Road connects Saginaw area to Midland area → yes.

Q5: Chestnut Hill Drive is north-south → yes.

All good.
