प्रश्न
What are different types of small-scale maps?
उत्तर
Small-scale maps are divided into two types:
- Wall Maps: These maps are generally drawn on large size paper or on a plastic base for use in classrooms or lecture halls. The scale of wall maps is generally smaller than the scale of topographical maps but larger than atlas maps.
- Atlas Maps: Atlas maps are very small-scale maps. These maps represent fairly large areas and present a highly generalized picture of the physical or cultural features. Even so, an atlas map serves as a graphic encyclopedia of the geographical information about the world, continents, countries or regions.
