A map is a representation, usually on a flat surface, of the features of an area of the earth, showing them in their respective forms, sizes, and relationships according to some convention of representation.
A map maker is called a Cartographer

Physical Maps• Physical maps show
the natural features of the Earth.
• Physical maps do not contain man made features.
• For example, a
physical map would be a map of what you would see if you were looking down on Earth from space.

Political MapsUnlike physical maps, political maps show how humans have impacted the landscape. For example, city names, roads, country borders, etc. are all part of political maps.
Political maps change frequently (physical maps change very, very slowly through geologic processes) and must be redrawn often.
