Map Exercise--Thurs., Sept. 15
For the forthcoming map exercise, you will need to be able to locate specific places on a Wyoming map. I will furnish the outline map to you with various aspects numbered. Your job will be to put a name on the numbered locale.
For purposes of this exercise, know where the following locations are on a Wyoming map. To find these locations, consult a Wyoming highway map (available almost anywhere) or one of the maps hanging in Coe Library. I have provided a sample below, but it is only a SAMPLE. It is designed to illustrate the way the exercise will be administered, but it is NOT the map to be used in the exercise.
