Political Maps Political maps show how humans have
impacted the landscape. For example, city names, roads, country borders, etc. are all part of political maps.
A political map often uses colors to show the boundaries between states or countries.
Political Maps
Political maps change frequently (physical maps change very, very slowly through geologic processes) and must be redrawn often. A political map of the world that is 50 years old is no longer accurate.
Wars and ethnic conflict are two major causes political maps change.
Political Maps Lets look at some examples of political
maps.

Physical Maps Physical maps show what the surface of
the Earth looks like. A physical map highlights Earth’s natural
features, such as mountains and forests.
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.
Physical Maps
Notice you do not see country borders or city markings. These divisions are created by people. For example, there is no actual line dividing Texas from its bordering states.
Physical Maps Lets look at am examples of a physical
map.
Physical Maps There are different types of physical maps.
• Relief Maps – Show the difference in height between land
• Elevation Maps – Show the elevation, or height above sea level.
Historical Maps Historical maps show information about past or
where past events took place. A historical map displays historical situation
(area of control, cities) or action (migrations, battles).
The map title tells you the subject of the map.
Many Historical Maps include dates in the title or in the key.

Distribution Maps Distribution maps show how things such as
language, religion, population, and rainfall are distributed throughout an area.
A distribution map shows colors or symbols that represent different data.
Distribution Maps There are different types of distribution maps.
• Climate – gives general information about the climate and precipitation (rain and snow) of a region.• Land Use – shows the human use to which land is put at a given time.• Weather – shows the state of the weather over a large area.• Population Distribution – refers to the arrangement or spread of a particular species or organisms in a given
geographical area.
• Economy Maps – features the type of natural resources or economic activity that dominates an area.• Road Maps – show major—some minor highways—and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities and
other points of interest in an area.
