The map that will be used on the test can be found at http://bcs.whfreeman.com/pulsipher4e/ . To get it, scroll down to the bottom of that page, click on “Blank Online Maps” and then in the left-hand column, get the Chapter 6 “Fill in Maps.” Use the blank maps to practice (on the test, I will draw in mountains and rivers); to find locations on the list, use the atlas, the Held book, and if all else fails, try using google.
