The document provides 20 questions for students to answer about the topographic map of the Bremen Quadrangle. The questions ask students to identify map features like name, location, scale, elevation data, and river flow direction. Students are instructed to work with a partner, write their answers on paper, and submit their completed questions along with a jointly written review.
