Question

What are different types of small-scale maps?

Answer 1

Small-scale maps are divided into two types:

1. 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.
2. 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.
