Texas Geography Review Map Instructions
1. Get out four different colors of pencils (like blue, red, green and brown). You can
choose your own colors if you want.
2. At the bottom of your Review Map, make a key with four boxes like below. Label
them as follows:
 = Bodies of Water
 = States and Country
 = Cities
 = Natural Regions
3. Color each box in the key a different color like blue- bodies of water, green- states and
country, red- cities, and brown- natural regions. You do not have to use these colors;
you can choose different colors.

Use a blue colored pencil (or whatever color you chose for bodies of water) to draw

6. MAJOR CITIES: Use pg. RA 20
Place a dot where each city is located (use the rivers to help you place the dots).
Use your red pencil (or whatever color you chose) to label them. If you think that it

numbers and city name on your key or on the back of your map. Make sure to write
neatly, spell everything correctly, and capitalize each name.
