A Map of Harvest Hill

At the Harvest Hill farm market, a town map helps farmers, families and visitors find their way. The title of the map is "Harvest Hill Farm Town." Its compass rose shows north at the top, east on the right, south at the bottom and west on the left.

The map key explains its symbols. A red barn means a barn. A green tree means an orchard. Black blades mean a windmill. A yellow basket means a farm stand. A blue drop means the town well. A blue wave means a pond. A gray hammer means a tool shed. A purple book means the schoolhouse. A light-green patch means a meadow.

The map uses columns A, B and C from west to east and rows 1, 2 and 3 from north to south. The places are arranged like this: A1 barn, B1 orchard, C1 windmill; A2 farm stand, B2 town well, C2 schoolhouse; A3 pond, B3 tool shed, C3 meadow.
