A map is a visual representation of an
area – symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of
that space such as objects, regions, and themes.
Although
the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of
territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times. The
word "map" comes from the medieval Latin Mappa mundi, wherein mappa
meant napkin or cloth and mundi the world. Thus, "map" became the
shortened term referring to a 2 dimensional representation of the
surface of the world.
