Answer:

1. Maps Simplify Complicated Information

Maps take complex data sets and display them in a pleasing graphic you can use to answer questions about your world.

Imagine that you’re back in elementary school and you ask your teacher to show you how big the United States is compared to other countries. She nods her head, walks over to the spring roller, and pulls down a huge spreadsheet that lists each country and their areas. Huh?!?!

Maps are a visual representation of complicated data. Some may think maps are unnecessary and complicated tools, but in reality, maps simplify your life.

2. Maps Can Save Your Life

According to The National Park Service (NPS), there are more than 300 million people visiting national parks, forests, and wilderness areas every year. Spoiler alert, cell signals don’t extend to all these areas and maps may be the only reference you’ll have in an emergency.

If there’s flooding near you, you’ll need to know how to get to the closest high elevation. If an injury happens, you’ll need to get to the nearest high traffic area for help. If a bear cuts off your path, you’ll need to find an alternate….fast.

So don’t get caught out there holding your phone to the sky begging for a signal. A paper map may actually save your life.

<span>disheartening - because if the town is dependent on tourism and many locals are unfriendly, they won't return for a second time and tourism will decrease in that town. Since John is upset about tourism, he also talks to local residents about the invasion of tourists, brings it up at town meetings, and could start a downward trend towards a major economic portion of his town</span>
