landmarks, and political boundaries.
feature
A representation of a real-world object on a map.
GIS
Geographic information system. GIS uses interactive maps to analyze data and help
answer questions about the world.
layer
A collection of related features in a GIS map. The features in a layer usually have the
same theme, geometry, and set of attributes.
For example, a GIS layer might use lines (geometry) to represent streets (theme) and include
the name of each street (attribute).
scale
The ratio or relationship between a distance or area on a map and the corresponding
distance or area on the ground. Scale is commonly expressed as a fraction or ratio.
Example: A scale of 1:1,000,000 means that 1 unit on the map equals 1 million units on the
earth. In other words, 1 inch on the map shows 1 million inches on the earth (about 189 miles).
