Maybe you would like to have a topographical map of your area and can locate
one in your local map store or camping (backpacking) store.
Mark the map below or your topo with an x to give the approximate location where you live
then estimate:
Longitude: ____________________
Latitude: ____________________
Elevation: ____________________ (You may need other reference material here.)
OLAP is on the EUREKA, MO 7.5 minute series topographic map.
Using an actual topographic map and what you've learned from
FINDING DISTANCES on the porch in front of the Palace Theater,
see if you can determine a more accurate value for latitude, longitude,
and elevation for the front of the porch of the Palace.
Until you get a map, use the longitude/latitude
finder
by zooming out to your area, click on the map location you want, then zoom in on the street and location of your home
or appartment. This finder starts with the area around Kirkwood, MO, near
the community college.
You can print a copy of this street map showing your map location.
