cardinal points
North, south, east, west
The cardinal points are the four principal directions on a compass: north, south, east, and west.
These serve as the fundamental reference points for navigation and orientation, with all other directions (such as northeast or southwest) derived from combinations of them.
The trail map showed the cardinal points to help hikers orient themselves.
