-Maps are also helpful in locating places, parishes, geographical features, transportation routes, and proximity to other towns. Historical maps are especially useful for understanding boundary changes.
+== Tips for Using Maps  ==
-Maps are published individually or as an atlas, which is a bound collection of maps. Maps may also be included in gazetteers, guidebooks, local histories, historical geographies, encyclopedias, and history texts.
+Maps must be used carefully for several reasons:
+*There are often several places with the same name. You may want to use a '''[[Venezuela Gazetteers | Gazetteer]]''' to help you.<br>
+*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestor lived there.<br>
+*Place-names are often misspelled in English sources. Difficult names may have been shortened and important diacritic marks omitted.<br>
+*Political boundaries are not clearly indicated on all maps. Look for neighboring towns and geographic features to find the area where your ancestor came from.<br>
+*Boundaries changed over time. Use historical maps to understand boundary changes.<br>
+For more tips and information on using maps, go to the general'''[[Maps | Maps Record Page]]'''.
-== Using Maps  ==
+=== Finding the Specific Town on the Map  ===
-Maps must be used carefully for several reasons:
+To successfully research maps from Venezuela, you must identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because there are several towns that have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. Using gazetteers can help you to identify a place's the jurisdiction and help you locate it on a map. See the '''[[Venezuela Gazetteers]]''' article for more information.
-*There are often several places with the same name.
+== Types of Maps  ==
-*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestor lived there.
-*Place names are often misspelled in English sources. Difficult names may have been shortened and important diacritic marks omitted.
-*Political boundaries are not clearly indicated on all maps.
-== Finding the Specific Town on the Map  ==
+Different types of maps help you in different ways, for example:
-To successfully research maps, you must identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because there are several towns that have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. You will be more successful in identifying the town on a map if you have some information about the town. Using gazetteers and other such sources to identify the area your ancestor’s town was in will distinguish it from other towns of the same name and help you locate it on a map.
+*Historical atlases describe the growth and development of countries, showing boundaries, migration routes, settlement patterns, military campaigns, and other historical information.<br>
+*Road atlases are useful because of the detail they provide. <br>
+*Other types of maps include: parish maps, state maps, tourist maps, topographical maps, and air navigation maps. City maps are extremely helpful when researching in large cities.<br>
