A diagram of air pressure could be represented on a weather map. This map would use isobars - lines that connect areas with the same atmospheric pressure - to show areas of high and low pressure.

Actually there is no difference in which side do you keep your compass as long it is going to show the north direction in any other side of the map. Usually there is a small print in the maps (left side/right side depends of the print) which shows the direction of north in the certain map position. So What you have to do is to use compass to get the right direction.

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.
