A map is a diagram that represents part of the earth’s surface. It could be a large part or even all of it, or it could be a very small part, such as a single town. The size of the map has nothing to do with the size of the area it represents. What is important is the scale or how many ‘miles to the inch’ or ‘kilometres to the centimetre’ the map represents. A map on a small scale can give only a very broad outline of what it represents, but a large scale map can often be very detailed. You may need to check in which direction north and south are on the map, although usually north is at the top of the page. On a large scale map especially, you can only make sense of it if you check what all the symbols and abbreviations mean, so it is useful to keep checking these with the key or index which should be provided.
