Solution
(a)
(i) 0722
(ii) 0826
(iii) 0526
(iv) 0918
(v) 0721
(b)
(i) 032238
(ii) 050210
(iii) 019187
(iv) 075188
(v) 085259
(c)
(i) North-west
(ii) South-west
(iii) East
(iv) East
(v) South.
(d)
(i) 15r means relative depth of the perennially lined well is 15 m.
(ii) Contour line of 300 m.
(iii) 24° 45′ is the northern most latitude shown on the map extract.
(iv) Cart track.
(v) It is a natural seasonal tank with embankment.
(e)
(i) The general pattern of Dhann village is clustered settlement type.
(ii) The general pattern is scattered or dispersed settlement type.
(f)
(i) Direct distance between Indaria and Jolpur is 14 cm.
1 cm., on the map equals 500 m. on the ground
14 cm., equals 500 × 14 = 7000 m., or 7 kms.
(ii) Distance along cart track between Dantral and Dhann is 8 cm.
1 cm. on the map equals 500 m.
8 cm. equals 500 × 8 = 4000 m., or 4 kms.
(g)
(i) The drainage pattern is trellis.
(ii) The drainage pattern is dendritic type resembles a tree.
(h) Temple, cart track, perennial lined well.
(i) The presence of broken ground and seasonal rivers.
(j) The main river Sukli Nadi flows in the southern direction is a seasonal river, the water courses are numerous and well defined as they are able to cut channels into the soft soil. They are periodic and rely on the monsoon rain for the water supply.
(k) The area is mainly a plain. The land is higher in the N.E., and slopes gently towards the S. W. There are some rock outcrops rising to a height of about 300 m. A larger part of the plain is sandy and presence of sand dimes indicates desert conditions.
(l) The land slopes from the north-east to the south. The highest spot height of 311 is seen in the N.E., section of the map and the S.W., section of the map shows a spot height of 263. The flow of the rivers from the N.E. to the S.W. is also an indication of the slope of the land.
(m) The main occupation of the people is agriculture. This is indicated in the map by the yellow wash that covers almost the entire map extract. The presence of a large number of perennial lined wells also supports this inference.
(n) Well irrigation is the most widespread mode of irrigation. This is because of the presence of a large number of perennial wells which have a supply of water throughout the year.
(o) The mode of transport is cart track. This is mainly because this is a rural area and most of these cart tracks connect villages in this region.
