What are Printed Maps?

Printed maps are physical copies of cartographic representations that are produced through printing processes on paper or other materials. These maps are created using various techniques and technologies to convey geographic information in a visual and tangible form. Printed maps have been a fundamental tool for navigation, exploration, education, and communication for centuries.

Printed maps can vary in scale and purpose. They range from large-scale maps that show fine details of a specific area, such as a city or a neighborhood, to small-scale maps that depict larger regions like countries or continents. Printed maps can be produced using traditional printing methods such as lithography or more modern methods like digital printing.
