A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as
objects,
regions, and
themes.Many maps are
static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate representations of
three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even
three-dimensional. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any
space, real or imagined, without regard to
context or
scale; e.g.
Brain mapping,
DNA mapping, and extra-terrestrial mapping.
