- Plans.
Answer:
There are five different types of maps: General Reference, Topographical, Thematic, Navigation Charts and Cadastral Maps and Plans.
General Reference: This is a catch-all term for various small-scale maps, such as maps covering a continent, region, or country on a single sheet. General reference maps also include thematic maps (maps about a subject, which show such things as population and crop distribution).
Topographical: Topography is a detailed map of the surface features of land. It includes the mountains, hills, creeks, and other bumps and lumps on a particular hunk of earth. Topography represents a particular area in detail, including everything natural and man-made — hills, valleys, roads, or lakes.
Navigation Charts: The term “navigation map” represents the route instructions, as it were, throughout the conceptual model. The conceptual navigation map shows “routes” the user can or is required to take through the configuration to perform and conclude all the required steps for accomplishing a goal.
Cadastral Maps and Plans: Cadastral map is a large-scale map showing the boundaries of subdivisions of land, usually with the directions and lengths thereof and the areas of individual tracts, compiled for the purpose of describing and recording ownership.
More to Know:
A map is almost universally a two-dimensional representation of a piece of three-dimensional space. Only with the advent of modern computer graphics were three-dimensional maps made possible. Maps serve two map functions; they are a spatial database and a communication device.
