Map

Often a representation of an area of land, sky or sea that highlights physical features such as mountains, planets or roads. A map can also represent a place using intangible references points, such as by charting emotions or memories. Maps are usually selective and/or subjective representations of a place. The earliest known map is a representation of the night sky in the caves of Lascaux in France that dates to 14,500 BCE.
