Maps are very useful & important to us, How:

To understand roads and subways at new places. 
To calculate distance between two places. 
To know whether there are two or more paths to the same place and which is the shortest. 
We can get information about mountains, rivers, valleys or any other thing, which may come on the way, and we can prepare for that. 
 Boundaries of the land to define ownership. Places like houses, farmhouses, mines can be shown on the map. 
We can also mark crops, weather reports, direction of wind, rainfall on the maps. 
Government needs the map to keep the record of the owners.
