there are many different types of maps that exist within the discipline of cartography, there are six types that immediately come to my mind. Physical map: Physical maps display the physical features of a place, including land and water features such as mountains, plains, rivers, and oceans
Physical map: Physical maps display the physical features of a place, including land and water features such as mountains, plains, rivers, and oceans. Physical maps utilize colors to differentiate between various physical features as well as the elevations of those features, although for understanding elevation, topographic maps are much more useful
Topographic maps also display physical features, using contour lines instead of color to show changes in the landscape, such as elevation. The spacing of contour lines are even and help differentiate between steep and flat features; for example, a mountain may have many closely knit contour lines to show steepness and a high elevation, whereas flatlands may have spread apart contour lines to show flatness and a low elevation.
