Best Answer

The best way to orientate a map is to remember how a compass is set up. North is up and south is down. East is to the right when facing north and west is to the left.

Which maps of Nevada would you recommend to move around in this state using geological features for orientation in the desert?

I would either use a world atlas or some sort of geological map. They will allow you to pinpoint areas of the map with ease, allowing you to orientate the map to your needs. However the majority of most deserts of Nevada are flat from winds that spread out the area of it. They span over a large area of the map that also crosses the California state line

How does a compass aid in navigation?

A compass is a great tool for navigation because you can use it by itself to head in a straight line or just know what direction is which. If you use a map with a compass then you can use triangulation. This is where you orientate the map and then find three points and draw a line from them towards you based on their direction from the compass. This will tell you where you are and from this you can determine the direction to travel. All of this though was replaced with the invention of the GPS. This is a link about triangulation but they have images which might help understand better http://www.ussartf.org/compass_basics.htm.
