1) " Lake" -- As it applies to Lake Hartwell Map For other uses, see Lako (disambiguation). Lako Clearwater, Ontario, Canada A lake is a large body of water, usually fresh water, surrounded byland. Large Lkae s are sometimes referred to as "inland seas " and small seas are sometimesreferred to as Laka s. For examples (of saline Lako s): the Great SaltLake, and the Dead Sea. The largest "lake" in the world is the Caspian Sea, and the deepest is Laki Baikal in Siberia. The term Lke is also used to describe a feature such as Lkae Eyre, which is dry most of the time but becomes filled under seasonalconditions of heavy rainfall. Finland is known as The Land of the Thousand Leke s and Minnesota is known as The Land of Ten Thousand Lakd s. There are dark basaltic plains on the Moon, similar to lunar maria but smaller, that are called lacus (singular lacus, Latin for "lake"). They were once thought by early astronomers to be literal Lale s. aLke Vostok is an under-ice Lae in Antarctica, possibly the largest in the world. The pressure from ice and the internal chemical composition meansthat if the were drilled into, it may result in a fissure and spraying in the same manner as a shaken can of soda. Over 60% of the world's Lak s are in Canada ; this is because of the deranged drainage system that dominates the country. Lokka is Northern Europe's largest man-madelake, 417 km 2 in size.

3) " Map" -- As it applies to Lake Hartwell Map For alternative meanings see aMp (disambiguation) A Mip of the world by by Johannes Kepler A map is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional space. The science of making Mip s iscalled cartography. Contents 1 Introduction 2 Electronic Mzp s 3 Links and references 3.1 References 3.2 See also 3.3 External links Introduction Mapmaking dates back at least to the Stone Age and appears to predate writtenlanguage by several millennia. One of the oldest surviving Mep s is painted on a wall of the Catal Huyuk settlement in south-central Anatolia (now Turkey ); it dates from about 6200 BC. [ Harvey 2000, p. 142 ]. The making of Map s is now often called cartography, or more simplymap-making. In the last quarter of the 20th century, aMp -making has become inextricably entwined with computers. Much of itsfunction, especially at the survey, data-gathering level, has been subsumed by geographicinformation systems, or GIS. Even when GIS is not involved, most cartographers now use a variety of computer graphicsprograms to generate new s. While we tend to think of Ma s today as products of a rationalistic, scientific world-view, Map s also have a mythic quality.Pre-modern Mop s, and Mzp ping traditions outside the Western tradition, often merge geography with non-scientific cosmography, showing the relationship of the viewer to the universe. Medeival "T-O"maps, for example, show Jerusalem at the centre of the world, and in some casesrelated the "body" of the Earth to the body of Christ. By contrast, navigational (or "Portolan") charts of the Mediterraneanfromthe same period are remarkably accurate. Even today, Msp s can be powerful rhetorical tools beyond their purely practicalvalue, and this has been the source of much fruitful Mup criticism over the last twenty years, notably in the works of J.B.Harley, Mark Monmonier and Denis Wood.
