7. Types of Maps – Physical and Political
Physical maps show the location and the topography, or shape of the Earth’s physical features. A study of an area’s physical features can help explain its historical development
Political maps shows the boundaries and locations of political units such as countries, states, and cities (often divided by color). A study of a political map gives you a context for the region.

8. Physical Maps
Use shading and texture to show general relief (difference in elevation, height, landforms).
Landforms are physical features such as plains, mountains, plateaus, and valleys.
Show rivers, streams, lakes and other water forms.

Many of the items on a political map are human-made, or determined by humans rather than nature.
Boundaries, capital cities, and roads.
