Excerpt from Map Reading for Aviators: With a Chapter on Aerial Navigation
A map is a graphical representation of a portion Of the earth's surface. Information of the natural and artificial features is conveyed to the reader by means of lines, symbols, words, and abbreviations. It is drawn to scale - that is, there is a definite relation between the space on the map and the ground distance represented.

Excerpt from Map Reading for Aviators: With a Chapter on Aerial Navigation
A Map is a graphical representation of a portion of the earth's surface. Information of the natural and artificial features is conveyed to the reader by means of lines, symbols, words, and abbreviations. It is drawn to scale - that is, there is a definite relation between the space on the map and the ground distance represented.
The amount and character of the information given on a map depend upon the use to which the map is to be put and the size - or the scale - of the map. It is obvious that more detail can be shown on a large than on a small map of the same area. The features to be left off the map are determined by the use which is to be made of it. For instance, the ordinary County Map shows only property lines, streams and dwellings. Its purpose is to enable the County Clerk to keep track of the taxes, etc., and it is immaterial to him whether there is a hedge or barbed wire fence between John Brown's property and William Smith's. The map found in a railroad time-table does not show types of bridges along the line, or whether the highways are metaled or not, but it does show the sequence of the towns and villages passed thru, the large streams crossed, and connections which can be made with other railroads. Maps of these two types rarely show differences in elevation. That information is not essential to their purpose. The topographic map, on the other hand, goes into detail as to the exact form of the ground, the location of buildings, fences, highways, railroads, and other natural and artificial features.
A military map is an elaborate topographic map.
