Answer: The key elements of a map are:

1. Data Frame

The data frame is the portion of the map that displays the data layers. This section is the most important and central focus of the map document.

2. Legend

The legend serves as the decoder for the symbology in the data frame. Therefore, it is also commonly known as the key. Descriptions detailing any color schemata, symbology or categorization is explained here.

3. Title

The title is important because it instantly gives the viewer a succinct description of the subject matter of the map.

4. North Arrow

The purpose of the north arrow is for orientation. This allows the viewer to determine the direction of the map as it relates to due north.

5. Scale

The scale explains the relationship of the data frame extent to the real world. The description is a ratio. This can be shown either as a unit to unit or as one measurement to another measurement.

6. Citation

The citation portion of a map constitutes the metadata of the map. This is the area where explanatory data about the data sources and currency, projection information and any caveats are placed.
