The detailed representation of a specific area on a map is typically called a "map legend" or a "map key". A map legend provides important information about the symbols and colors used on the map to represent various features such as roads, buildings, bodies of water, parks, and other points of interest. The legend helps users understand the meaning of different symbols and how to interpret the map accurately.
To locate the map legend on a physical map, look for a small box or section usually found in one of the corners. The legend may include a variety of symbols, colors, and corresponding explanations or abbreviations. On digital maps or interactive platforms, there is often an icon or button labeled "legend" that you can click on to access the detailed information.
By referring to the map legend, you can identify and understand the specific features and details depicted on a map, allowing for a better understanding of the area it represents.
