![]() ![]() In most maps, we will not be given much more information about a landmark/object than its name (possibly other geophysical facts like its height, but not more). A map can show us or at least help us to find out where we are, where we could be, and how we could get there. On a ‘typical’ map, we will see sketches of a particular environment with names on it for streets, places, or other landmarks. There has always been more to maps, more in maps, and more about maps than ‘standard map bureaucrats’ would ever want to admit. If you are thinking back to geography classes in school or your last trip with a roadmap, you will be misled.
