LC: to use 6 figure grid references to accurately locate places on a map
4 figure grid references
Four figure grid references:
What is the 4 figure grid reference of Melish Park Lodge?
Step 1
Look at the number that is in the bottom left hand corner of the square where the building is.
Step 2
Write the number on the northings (horizontal axis) first followed by the number on the eastings (vertical axis).
Melish Park Lodge = (1224)
Now find the 4 figure grid references of these places:
a) Angel Inn =
b) Mill Farm =
c) Melish Park Lodge =
d) Police House =
What places can be found at these references?
e) (1122) =
f) (1726) =
g) (1124) =
Six figure grid references :
What is the 6 figure grid reference of Melish Park Lodge?
Step 1
Again, start with the two numbers in the bottom left hand corner of the square of the location.
(12 24)
Step 2
Imagine each square is divided into 10 along the northings and 10 along the eastings.
Melish Park Lodge is about half way across the square between 12 and 13 and just over half way up the square between 24 and 25.
Melish Park Lodge = (125246)
Look at this map.
What can be found at these 6 figure grid references?
a) (133229) =
b) (134227) =
c) (125218) =
