Answer:

On maps, we use different types of symbols, numbers, signs, interpretations, descriptions to represent different places like cities, commercial centers within cities, parks, mountains, bus stands, airports, museums, playgrounds etc. The map legend is the place on the map, in the form of small box which helps us in understanding all of the used illustrations of the map. For example, if there is a sign of small square red colored sign placed on the map, which has been used to represent airport, then in order to understand what this sign actually represents there, we need to go the map legend, where you can find that small square red colored sign with the label of airport, so you can easily understand its the airport on that place on the map.

THE NATIONWho really won the War of 1812?It gave America 'The Star Spangled Banner,' but Canada plans the biggest bicentennial bashFebruary 26, 2012|Richard SimonEmailShare

WASHINGTON — For a piece of history that gave us the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air, the War of 1812 tends to evoke a collective "Huh?" on the U.S. side of the border with Canada.

"The War of 1812 has no compelling narrative that appeals to the average American,'' said Jerald Podair, a history professor at Lawrence University in Wisconsin. "It's just a hodgepodge of buildings burning, bombs bursting in air and paintings being saved from the invaders, all for a vaguely defined purpose. "

Yet the vacuum of interest in the War of 1812 is about to get a pyrotechnic blast of attention for its bicentennial year.

Canadians, who consider the war a pivotal conflict in their nation's history, have made 200th anniversary celebrations a national priority and are opening government coffers to stage a splashy show. Also, a few American cities and states, mostly on the East Coast and Great Lakes where fighting took place, are planning commemorations that have some brushing off their war reenactment uniforms.

For Americans who may have napped during this history lesson, the War of 1812 is a bit of a dud, historians say.

"If you ask the average American what they think about the War of 1812, some will have a puzzled look and ask who fought in that war?" said Ralph Eshelman, a Maryland historian who has written about the war in the Chesapeake Bay region. Another historian joked that about the only thing most Americans know about the War of 1812 is that it began in, well, 1812.
