As we can see, to show the location of a hospital, a square is used. For the grounds, a triangle is used. The general stores are shown by parallelograms and the schools are shown by rectangles.
According to the map, the town is being divided into nine sections (areas).
In the first section, we can see only

rectangle. This means that in this area there is

In the second section of the first row, we can see

parallelograms,

rectangle and
