This book covers, in its first chapter, scale, its types, choosing the appropriate scale, and changing the map scale by enlarging or reducing it. It details the graphical method, squares, similar triangles, mechanical methods, and devices equipped with lenses, then determining the scale of an unknown-scale map. In the second chapter, it explains measuring distance and area from the map, planning to cover a land area with maps, and measuring slope from the map. The third chapter deals with representing natural and human phenomena on maps, such as linear changes, representing terrain, elevation, and slope, and map application. The fourth chapter points to lines and graphs and their most important types, qualitative and quantitative distribution maps, map projections, circles of latitude and longitude, types of projections, cylindrical projections and their properties, the construction of the projection, the mathematical method, and the method of sum of secants. It then moves to conical projections, their types, how to construct them, and their properties, and the equal-area conical projection with one standard parallel "Bonne's projection", explaining its construction methods, detailing the linear and mathematical construction, and then showing its properties.
