A boy and his dad learn how to use the compass and maps, and explore together a region of wilderness and virgin fishing lakes. Partly based on procedures in text book "By Map and Compass" published by Macmillan Co.
An airplane trip over the countryside around their summer camp inspires Mr. Wallace and his son to explore the region on foot. Equipping themselves with a map and a compass they set out on definite routes for definite objectives. The techniques of reading the symbols, scales and contour lines of a topographic map and using a compass are illustrated.—Anonymous
