 Map Skills Vocabulary A map is a drawing of a place from above. A map shows where things are. Apartments are home for people. Some maps show where people live. The four basic directions are north, south, east, and west. On a map north is up, south is down, west is on the left, and east is on the right. A compass rose shows the four basic directions on a map. The letter N stands for north. The letter S stands for south. The letter E stands for east. The letter W stands for west. On a compass rose North is on the top, south is on the bottom, West and East spell "WE". A map key has the symbols that are on a map.  Symbols are drawings. They stand for real things.
