Map Quiz #1
Rationale: The study of history requires some knowledge of basic world geography. Knowing the location of
specific cities, waterways, regions, and other geographic features is important to your understanding of how the
Early Modern world operated.
Format: The map quiz will look very much like the previous ones we have had in class. You will be provided
with labeled outline maps and asked to identify specific places or features relevant to our understanding of the
time period. Blank outline maps can be found in the Online Map Packet along with other full color maps
labeled with the places you are required to know.
