What defines a road on a map?
Is there an adjective to describe a road or a river whose orientation is nearly north to south (e.g., inland drainage)? Why does maps look vertical (like in earth’s earth)? In an example sentence would be, “the highway between Foopolis and Barville forms the western border of the State of Athens. Or
what would be the use of saying ” you can’t have everything to be…”.?
What do you think of meridianwise?
Which is the first polar direction of all geographic regions including
on the map (which appears
vertically on the map)? I don’t really see metaphor (in case that’s the reason for downvote) merely a widened usage of the notion actually connoted; based on
our real world.
This road is the western border of the
state of Ipsumia (southwestern part of the country). It will
flow almost due
north from Foopolis to Barville.
It is an English word which is usually used and universally known, without changing. This isn’t a single word, but it’s
an effective way to communicate what you are asking.
If we have the “meridian ” in an adjective form, why does this feel similar to the “thar highway” definition?
“the meridian highway between Foopolis and Barville forms the western border of the State of Ipsumia. “The
highway along the meridian line between Foopolis and Barville
forms the western border of the state of Ipsumia. ” (ex. the following text after repeated exclamations). The
meridian
moon on
the Sun ” ODO: meridian adjectivive Relating to or situated at
a meridian : ‘the meridian moon’ ” A meridian line is a line used by astronomers, meteorologists and others to measure from for around 2 kilometers. The
meridian line through the Observatory became the official meridian line of Paris. In
the English word noun 1 a circle of
constant longitude passed through a given place on earth’s surface and its terrestrial poles. ‘the European Broadcasting Area extends
from the Atlantic to the meridian 40u00b0E’
If a river flows north or south or a road runs south and north (since most roads run both ways) it is coincident with a line of longitude by definition. It is almost certainly coincident with a line of longitude with fractional numbers of degrees (eg 0 degrees 47.37) 32 min) but it is still a line of longitude. So it can be said to be longitudinal. A road or river running east-west would be latitudinal, However north-south of east-west for roads and north-flowing, south-flowing and so on are much more common and likely to be understood.
