a young boy in 1876 named steven alvarez and his friend Serena mendez created the 4 cardinal directions in a science experiment at hohokam middle school while ditching.........................
One name for the symbol is a compass rose.
A compass rose, sometimes called a windrose, or Rose of the Winds, is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions-North, East, South, and West-and their intermediate points. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass.

A COMPASS? It points in normally two directions North and south. However the same end will always point towards north. Some compasses have 4 cardinal points on them and they will point in all four directions at once. but again the north and south are the ones that line up. East and west are just along for the ride. Other Directional indicator. Radio direction finders, wind vanes, etc. have all the operational properties of the compass but use different means to point with.
what is a drawing that indicates directions on a map especially cardinal and intermediate directions
The compass. It usually shows both the intermediate and cardinal directions. Sometimes it will only show the cardinal directions.
Cardinal directions are the four regular directions such as north south east and west. Intermediate are the directions in between the cardinal directions such as NW, SW, NE, SE.
Cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west. Intermediate directions are northwest/northeast, or southwest/southeast.
The four cardinal directions on a compass rose are:NorthEastSouthWestThere are four intermediate directions, one between each pair of cardinal directions. They are:NortheastSoutheastSouthwestNorthwest
intermediate
Because intermediate directions are more specific
The cardinal directions are North, South, East, and West. Intermediate directions are those that are in between the cardinal directions. Examples include Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast.

Compass
The reason why intermediate directions sometimes more useful than cardinal direction is because when you get lost you can use it and find out which way it is.
The different between cardinal and intermediate directions is cardinal is North , South , East, and west.Intermediate is Northeast,Southeast,Southwest,and Northwest.
