A good map reader carefully scans maps to find details that are of interest. This week's map shows there are many garden sites that have not yet reported emergence. Let's look a closer look at these garden sites.

2. Find a physical map of North America. Look at the landforms and bodies of water in the areas where these gardens are located.

3. List the landforms or bodies of water:
