  • A physical map is a depiction of the geographic features of an area. All bodies or occurrences of water are marked on the map in one colour and the map shows whether they are streams, rivers, lakes or larger bodies of water. Mountains, deserts and plains all have their own unique colour and designations.
  • a map that represents the political subdivisions of the world, of continents, or of major geographic regions is called political map. Political maps are divided into general, or survey, maps and specialized maps. General political maps show the political divisions of the area being mapped, that is, the location of countries and the area they occupy.
  • A thematic shows a theme or topic, such as the average distribution of rainfall in an area. They're different from general reference maps because they don't just show natural and manmade features such as rivers, cities, political subdivisions, and highways.
