Blank outline maps and more
We have developed three essential, high-quality, blank outline maps to accompany Part 1 and Part 2 of the Student's Friend.
The Student's Friend is a concise narrative of world history that may be used in place of a traditional textbook, available free on this website.
High-quality maps from Student's Friend:
The two maps to be used with Part 1 are:
-a map of the world without political boundaries
(country borders not shown)
-a map of the Eastern hemisphere without political boundaries
Shows rivers associated with early ancient civilizations
The map to be used with Part 2 is:
-a map of the world with current political boundaries
(country borders are shown)
Directions:
The maps are in pdf format, which means you will need a pdf reader such as Adobe Acrobat (available free) to open them. When printing, you might wish to set your printer to landscape format and high-quality print mode. Print at 100% (full size). If you select "fit to page," the map size may be somewhat reduced. These are high-definition maps with large file sizes meant to serve as masters for making student copies; they might take some time to download depending on your connection speed.
