What is the distance from location “A" to location “K" on the map (in nautical miles) on the bathymetry map of Cortes Bank in Figure 15? Hint: Use the minute bar of latitude on the side of the map as distance bar scale, noting that 1 minute of latitude is equal to one nautical mile. Measure the length between A and K on the map with a ruler. Then measure that same length along the latitude minute bar. How ever many total minutes are included in that measured length along the minute bar is the number of nautical miles in map distance between A and K. 110
