Types of Maps – Physical and Political Physical maps show the location and the topography, or shape of the Earth’s physical features. A study of an area’s physical features can help explain its historical development Political maps shows the boundaries and locations of political units such as countries, states, and cities (often divided by color). A study of a political map gives you a context for the region.

Physical Maps Use shading and texture to show general relief (difference in elevation, height, landforms). Landforms are physical features such as plains, mountains, plateaus, and valleys. Show rivers, streams, lakes and other water forms.

Political Maps Many of the items on a political map are human-made, or determined by humans rather than nature. Boundaries, capital cities, and roads. Might also show physical features such as mountains and rivers.

Thematic Maps – maps that provide a particular kind of information or a single idea Flow-Line maps – use arrows to show the movement of people, ideas, or physical systems. Examples in Atlas: Pg. 20-21 PG. 58-59 Qualitative Maps – use colors, symbols, lines, or dots to show information related to a specific idea. Examples in Atlas: Pg. 32-33 Pg. 40-41 Activity: When would you use a qualitative map? A Flow-Line map? What three words would you use to describe each type of map?
