Answer:
The oldest maps were made by hand of course, and were based on fairly crude measurements of paces, strides and the like and directions only loosely related to NEWS. Clocks helped (as with navigation, latitude could be estimated by seeing what stars were above the horizon (or how high the sun seemed at its zenith), but longitude needed to know when they were seen).
Modern maps have the extraordinary advantage of precise locations of points, and even the benefit of direct overhead observation, and are no longer hand drawn.
Explanation:
The farming plantation in the southern colonies flourished
due to its geography and its climate. The land in the southern colonies is
considered to be of fertile soil. They also contain hilly coastal plains, rich
forests, extensive rivers, and swampy areas which is good for producing crops.
The climate is another factor; with its soft winters and humid summers, crops
tend to grow right away. The tidewater near the coastal plains also brings in
minerals which is good for the crops. The growing seasons in the southern
colonies are also much longer compared to other places, so it becomes a place
ideal for farming.
