POLI/INTL 361 Summer 2024          Name_______________________________________

Map Quiz Instructions:

 

You will be asked to identify 100 countries, regions, or bodies of water for your map quiz.  To study, use any maps available in books or on the web.  The 100 things you need to identify on the quiz are only those listed below.  For the quiz, you will be given seven maps (see the list of countries that will be on the maps below).  In the country, regions, or bodies of water you are responsible for identifying there will be a letter.  Just match the letter on the map with the name of the country, region, or body of water listed here. Use this page as your answer sheet. To the left of the name of the country, region, or body of water is a column for you to put in the letter. When you’re done, check you work, then email the file to me.  Include your name in the title of the file.  It would make be very happy it the title of the file was this: Map 361 Your Name (So if it was my map, it would be Map 361 Newmann).

 

Note: If something is in italics that means it is a not a country. It’s a city, region, or body of water.

 

Another Note: Some nations may be on more than one map because they are important features of more than one area of the world.
