Position the pin to a location, make it the right size, and rotate it a bit. Select it and duplicate it four times with the Ctrl/Command + D keys. Also position the other pins, as shown in the next screenshot.

You can use all kind of symbols to visualize locations. The most commonly used symbols are pins, flags, and markers.
