Find out the location of settlements and graveyard in the given grid, using the 4-figure grid reference method.

Every grid on map has two sets of lines, one going horizontally from the left to the right of the map, called northings, and the vertical lines that cuts the map from the top to the bottom, called the eastings. Each of these lines are named with a number.

The northings show how far north the square is in the grid, and the eastings show how far east the square is in the grid. Hence, these two lines (or any two intersecting lines for that matter) forms the location of any square on the grid.

However, while naming a square the lines used for naming are the south line, for northing and the west line, for easting. Since, these lines are showing how far in either direction.

Also, while giving the grid reference the eastings (west line number) are given first, followed by the northing (south line number).

Hence, for the given grid. The square names are the following:

Square 1: 2277

Square 2: 2377

Now,

In the above map, the settlement is in Square 2, hence the location of the settlement, based on the 4-figure grid reference method is 2377

The graveyard is located in Square 1, and the reference is 2277.
