Answer:

Symbols are used in maps to represent or indicate real objects or characteristics.

Maps are a reduced representation of the world and so symbols are used to make sure that a person easily reads a map while correlating them with the real world.

A map legend is also used to refer to all the symbols used on a map to ensure efficient map reading.
