GIANT Vermont Map

Last week 4th graders had the opportunity to walk all over Vermont...literally.

The Vermont Geographic Alliance has designed this 18' X 24' map to include towns, villages, counties, highways, rivers, lakes, and shaded relief. It comes with a variety of hands-on and feet-on activities to explore the geography of Vermont. The map is not only a map of Vermont, but was also wholly designed and produced in Vermont.  We spent time measuring distances with a map scale, exploring counties and creating tables to organize our data. In the coming weeks we will use our Vermont maps from this summer to investigate population patterns, state capitals through history as well as latitude and longitude.
