Which vegetation symbol is used for grapevines grown in evenly spaced rows?

• A. Woodlands
• B. Scrub, shrubland
• C. Orchard
• D. Vineyard

Answer: (D)

Grapevines grown in evenly spaced rows are represented on maps by a vineyard symbol. The idea is that vineyards show cultivated grapevines arranged in neat, parallel rows, reflecting how viticulture plants and trains vines on trellises. This distinguishes vineyards from other vegetation symbols: woodlands indicate dense tree cover, scrub or shrubland covers low-growing woody plants, and an orchard depicts rows of fruit trees. So when the landscape features orderly rows of grapevines, the appropriate symbol is vineyard.
