Gazetteer
HOW TO USE THE GAZETTEER
This gazetteer is a selection of
the names in Children’s Illustrated
World Atlas, and helps you
find places on the maps. For
example, to find the city of Lisbon
in Portugal, look up its name in
the gazetteer. The entry reads:
Lisbon Capital Portugal 58 E6
The first number, 58, tells you that
Lisbon appears on the map on
page 58. The second number, E6,
shows that it is in square E6. Turn
to page 58. Trace down from the
letter E along the top of the grid
(or up from the letter E on the
bottom of the grid), and then
across from the number 6 on
the side of the grid. You will find
Lisbon in the area where the
letter and number meet.
