Along with the quadrangle name, which information also appears in the upper right corner?

• A. The Series
• B. The State Name
• C. The North Arrow
• D. The Scale Bar

Answer: (B)

When you read a quadrangle map, the information in the title block in the upper right corner combines with the quadrangle name to tell you exactly which sheet you’re looking at. The state name is included there so you can immediately identify the state coverage of the map, which is important because the same or similar quadrangle names can appear in different states. The other elements—the north arrow and the scale bar—appear in other parts of the map margin, and the series designation is typically placed elsewhere as well. So, the state name is the piece that correctly accompanies the quadrangle name in that corner.
