This video is a tutorial of how to make a study area map (or Location Map) in QGIS. We have to make one of these in most of research, thesis and any other small projects. With this video you will be able to make then.

The video is in Nepali but there are English subtitles. This video covers all the heading including adding making groups to make it easier, highlighting the study area by various ways, adding base maps, adding labels to maps, adding scale bars among others.
