Finding Area and Grid References
When a grid is drawn on a map, the horizontal lines are
called northings and the vertical lines are called
eastings.
Eastings are numbered from west to east. Northings
are numbered from south to north.
An area reference (AR) is a 4-digit
number which tells us the general
location of something on a map
using the northings (numbers
increase towards north) and
eastings
(numbers
increase
towards east)
Eg. AR 2346
easting northing
A grid reference (GR) is a 6-digit
number – a coordinate which
pinpoints the location of a feature
on a map. To get the third digit
required for each coordinate in a
GR we divide up each easting and
northing into tenths.
Eg. AR 23_ 46_
easting northing
Note: Eastings are ALWAYS given
before northings.

Plumpton

Road passes

Direction
Direction tells us the general angle that one place is from another.
Direction is given by using a compass.
There are 4 cardinal points- North, South, East and West.
In between these 4 cardinal points are 12 intermediate points.
(When in doubt, assume North is at the top of a map if there is no compass on the
page.)
There are steps to work out the direction from one to another:
1. Find the two locations
2. Start from the location which as “from” or “of” before it, e.g. …from point A…
3. Work out where north is
4. Use the compass to work out the general direction to the “to” location
Activity 1
Draw a 16-point compass in the space provided.
