A satellite image is a photograph taken from a camera mounted on a satellite, or other spacecraft, far above the earth. This is an image of the area that includes New York State and parts of its bordering states. The borders have been drawn with red lines. Some of the New York State's borders are natural, like lakes and the ocean, and some are man-made border lines. Directions:
Look closely at the satellite image above. Base your answers to the questions below on the
map and your knowledge of social studies.
1. What does the dark blue color
represent? __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2. New York
State's borders with New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, are shown

man-made? How can you tell? _______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 3. Several of New York State's boundaries are lakes. Why do you think the red border line divides these lakes equally down the middle?
