Map symbols

What are map symbols? Maps give us a lot of information and there is not much room for labels. So we use symbols to save space and make the map easier to read. Symbols may be simple drawings, letters, shortened words or coloured shapes or areas.

How can we use them? A map will always have a key to list and explain the meanings of the symbols used. It is therefore not necessary for you to learn all the symbols as you will have a key. However it will make it quicker if you are familiar with some of the more common ones.

OS map symbols Ordnance survey (OS) has its own set of map symbols, often copied by others. These symbols can be grouped into categories like places of interest (usually shown in black), points of interest for tourists (blue), etc. but every map will have a key for reference.

For example the following symbols all indicate churches Some map symbols can tell you more than just the location of a feature. For example the following symbols all indicate churches – but each one will tell you a little bit about what the church looks like. Click to find out what......

Recap All (OS) maps use symbols to identify features. – There is a key on all maps. The symbols are not to scale and are made up of words letters or drawings. The symbols are broken down into different sections.- Places of interest, Boundaries etc Symbols can tell you more than just the location of a feature. The more map symbols you can remember the easier you will find navigation. Back to main session..
