mountains, market places, schools, police stations, health
centers, etc.- Proceed sketching: Locate such details as the location of
each households, churches, mosques, shops, stores,
factories etc. with their proper orientation and compass
direction to each other. Draw the actual shapes of the

Limitation of Sketches Maps
Maps are never identical with the whole or parts of the earth’s
surface they represent. They do not truly represent the actual
area. That is, they can not show the whole information of the
earth’s surface as it is. This is because the site of a map is
always limited.
Numbering of houses
Each housing unit within the mapped locality should be
identified by its house number. Hence a number must
physically be put on each house, or housing unit. The number
should be put / marked on a site easily visible for example, on
the door, window, etc, if there are separate households in
housing unit or compound different numbers should be given
to each household.
