stranded…
You are the
only survivor
after

a crash.
You find a bag.
You open up the
bag, and inside are
these tools:
Someone must have
left them here.
Whoever left this bag
must have been lost.
Maybe they were
trying to leave the
island, too??!!
Inside the smaller bag with papers and pen
are some maps and a list of clues that looks
like a possible way to find a way home! What
should you open first?
You decide to look
at the list of clues.
This is what the list says:

What would you jump from?

You had better follow
the clues!
Hmmmm… Which
map should you open?
You don’t know which
map would help you.
What do you know
about each map?
Physical maps show natural features,
geography, and places.
Physical maps
primarily help you
navigate.
Would a political map help you navigate?

The pink state

has a small mountain village.

The purple state has

a river and major cities.

The red state has

people along its coast.
Political maps show
people features
and help you
understand groups.
Since the first clue is to figure out where
you are, you should probably open up the
physical map.
 Where are you now?

These blue streaks

probably are a river.

These colors and lines These could

must mean something. be mountains.
Explore the island
with your binoculars.

Does what you see

look like anything
on the physical map?
You can see the mountains
in the distance.
The ocean is behind you.
and you must be in a bay.
You’re
nowhere
near a river.
If blue is water,
then this could be
the bay you’re in.

These are
probably the
mountains in
the distance.
You are here.
The next clue says
to go to the capital.

Which map should
you use?
Good choice! Political maps
show roads, states, and capitals.

You are here.

Here is
the
capital.
Looks like
you’re going
on a long
hike!
You must have
found the only
road that
leads to the
capital.
See the road that you’re on? Follow it on the

You made it to the city!
Now you need to find Chief Artawad.
You ask someone where the chief is, and
she points him out to you.
This is Chief Artawad.

Ask him for your clue!

Chief Artawad says,
“ Go to the
waterfall.”
Since the waterfall is a point of interest,
looks like you need the physical map again!

Here’s
where you
need to go.

Here’s where
you are.
You are sick of hiking, so you asked
the Chief for the quickest way to the waterfall.
He let you borrow a boat to row up the river.
