8th Grade Latitude, Longitude and Historical Maps Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Latitude and longitude give each place an address on a grid, and these sheets use that grid to map U.S. history. There are 7 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Students name states on a map of the 1783 United States, plot War of 1812 sites and railroad stops, read degrees and minutes for Revolutionary War sites and find miles between boundary parallels. Sheets practice D2.Geo.1.6-8 and D2.Geo.2.6-8.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Union Pacific, built west from Omaha, and the Central Pacific, built east from Sacramento, met at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory, on May 10, 1869. The sheet plots each line's stops by coordinates.
