Map symbols are the visual tools used in cartography to represent real-world features on a map. These symbols, ranging from simple dots to intricate icons, serve as a bridge between the physical world and its graphical representation. They play a pivotal role in conveying information, ensuring that maps are not just accurate but also intuitive and informative. Whether it’s a tree icon indicating a forest or a red line denoting a highway, map symbols provide a quick and clear understanding of the terrain and features, making maps an essential tool for navigation, planning, and understanding our world.
