Presentation transcript:

Various types of Maps Physical Physical maps often include much of the same data found on a political map, but their primary purpose is to show landforms like deserts, mountains and plains. Their topography style (or relief) presents an overall better picture of the local terrain. Political Political maps are designed to show governmental boundaries of countries, states and counties. They can also indicate the location of major cities, and they usually include significant bodies of water.

Various types of Maps Topographic Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and man-made features. Topographic maps show contour lines, relief and a range of man made structures like roads and buildings. Thematic A thematic map reflects a particular theme, for example political, cultural or agricultural features of an area. Symbols, pictures and colours are used to represent whatever is being mapped.
