Knowing the world geography is of great importance today. You must be known to your surrounding locations and terrains as it firstly enhances your knowledge and it also helps you in navigating through those areas more confidently. Atlas is very helpful here as it is a collection of maps depicting either the entire earth or just a particular region of the earth. Conventionally, Atlases were attached to the books only but nowadays you can find multimedia atlases which not only depict the geographical features and political boundaries, but also feature the social, religious, geopolitical and economic statistics. As mentioned earlier, atlases are a combination or housing for MAPS. But what exactly is a Map? A map is a visual depiction of an area or a region on the planet which also includes highlighting the relations between the objects, themes and regions symbolically. Map of the World can be obtained as static two dimensional and geometrically correct demonstrations of the three dimensional space. There are many types of maps such as the wall maps which depict a particular region and are hung on the wall and these are mostly used in schools and colleges for teaching purpose. Next are the travel maps which are often in the folded form of a booklet so that they can be carried conveniently. Maps of all the terrains and geographical locations are available including maps of various countries and continents like the Map of United States. Making maps is known as Cartography and those specializing in it are known as cartographers. The cartographers need to be very precise and accurate with the techniques used for fabricating maps with the scale employed. Maps are of great help to all those who love traveling and other than this, it is useful for students as well.
