Introduction. A map is a drawing of all or part of Earth’s surface. Its basic purpose is to show where things are. Maps may show visible features, such as rivers and lakes, forests, buildings, and roads. They may also show things that cannot be seen, such as boundaries and temperatures. Most maps are drawn on a flat surface.
A map is a graphical representation, usually in two dimensions, of Earth’s surface, an ocean floor, a night sky, or another large area. Some three-dimensional models and diagrams of complex topics, flows, and changes over time are also called maps (for example, a genetic map).
Maps and Globes are used to help us understand where things are. They sometimes have special symbols, called a key, to navigate over land and water. Even with a map, navigators need a special device called a compass to know if they are going the right way. What else can you find on a map?
