And don't forget my forvorite site:
Map symbolization
The quality of a map’s design affects its reader’s ability to extract information, and to learn from the map. Cartographic symbology has been developed in an effort to portray the world accurately and effectively convey information to the map reader. A legend explains the pictorial language of the map known as its symbology. The title indicates the region the map portrays; the map image portrays the region and so on. Although every map element serves some purpose, convention only dictates inclusion of some elements while others are considered optional. A menu of map elements includes the neatline (border), compass rose or north arrow, overview map, scale bar, projection, and information about the map sources, accuracy and publication.

If I were you I would put the name of
your town into the search engine and when all of the web sites pop up select the one which shows the best view of the city you live in. This way you will be familiar with the area and know how to navigate around the map, thus learning how to read a map.
>>>>>>>>>For Example<<<<<<<<<<
Search: st louis mo city map
URLs display then select the one easiest to use. Like the one below.

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps.py?&addr=&csz=Saint+Louis,MO
Good Luck!
