Satellite images, like the one to the left, provide a way to view Earth at a scale comparable to standard topographic maps.  Maps provide a means of defining the location of a specific point or area, so that exact position can be found again at a later date. 

In this exercise, you will be provided with a satellite image, or other 3D image, with location numbers placed on top of the topography.  You will locate these specific points on a topographic map by identifying and comparing nearby features of the landscape.
