Questions for Photo 1 & Diagram 1

1. Why do you think the corners of Fort Pickens projected outward?

2. Using Map 1 as a reference, label Diagram 1 of Fort Pickens with the directions north, south, east and west as you believe the fort was sited. Why do you think the fort was positioned in the manner you chose?
