What is a "map"?
A map is a flat representation of a geographic area, showing features like mountains, rivers, roads, cities, and bodies of water. It helps people understand the layout of a place and navigate from one location to another. Maps can vary in detail, with some focusing on large areas like countries or continents, while others show smaller regions, such as cities or neighborhoods. They often use symbols and colors to represent different types of land, infrastructure, or landmarks. Maps are useful tools for travel, planning, and learning about the world.
