As you are going your map, you won't find everything in one atlas. So I have provided a list of resources. These links aren't going to tell you where everything is but they will help you identify and research the correct items.
Tips to a "10" map!
1. Pay attention to the list of items.
2. Some items apply to different standards. If you skip those items you will miss a grade.
3. Make your map as clear as possible.
4. Use colors, textures, and different types of pens or pencils to make everything stand out.
5. Include a key to TYPES or GROUPS of items.
6. Not everything has to be on your key.
7. Everything MUST go on the front of the map. These are intended for display purposes.
