- Topographical Maps: These maps are also known as contour maps, as they show the three-dimensional structure of the Earth’s surface, such as mountains, valleys, rivers, and other physical features. They are usually drawn to a large scale, which means that they cover a relatively small area but provide a lot of detail about that area.
- Political Maps: These maps show the boundaries and locations of countries, states, and cities, as well as major bodies of water and other physical features. They are designed to give a clear picture of the world or a particular region and are often used in conjunction with other types of maps, such as topographical maps or thematic maps. Political maps can be drawn to different scales, depending on the purpose for which they are intended.
