A reference map is a graphical representation of the location of physical features of an area.

A reference map is a graphical representation of the location of physical features of an area. It provides a visual representation of an area and shows the spatial variation of particular characteristics. Reference maps are used to locate and identify specific geographic features such as rivers, mountains, cities, roads, and political boundaries. These maps are typically used for general navigation and orientation purposes and do not convey specific thematic information such as population density or climate. To create a reference map, geographic data is collected and analyzed, and then mapped using computer hardware and software systems designed for geographic data analysis and display.
