Below is a mind map about maps. Your job is to fill in the blanks to complete the mind map. (A mind map is a graphic organizer that shows how ideas can be connected and grouped together.)
 
Unscramble the Map Words in the column on the left to spell words that are related to maps: there are four directions, four natural features (such as mountains), and five features made by humans (such as streets). Then use those words to fill in the blanks in the Mind Map.
 
For example, “TESTERS” can be unscrambled to spell “STREETS.” And STREETS can then be written in the box marked “Features Made by Humans.”
 
Now see if you can unscramble the other words and place each in the proper box in the Mind Map.
