the Legend
The symbol that usually represents cities on a maps are dots.
Most maps contain a helpful feature, usually at the bottom, called a legend. The legend explains the symbols used on that particular map.
The part of the map that contains information on what the symbols mean is called the key or the legend. Often, modern maps that we look at online don't have this essential part of the map, since these maps are easier to look at and understand than paper maps made earlier.

A map key contains information on what the symbols on the map means. The map key is usually found on one of the bottom corners of the map and is usually inside a small box.
A map key is found on a map. It tells what certain symbols on the map mean. For example, the "star" on most maps means state/country capitals. It is in a small box.

Maps have legends. A map legend is an explanation of the symbols on the map. If one cannot find the legend on a map, one is unlikely to find anything else on it.
A map is usually a multicolored document, labeled north, south, east, or west. Depending on the type of map, streets and terrain are usually indicated by different scales and symbols. One can use a map key to identify these.
The legend of the map also contains important information and all of the thematic symbols of the map. Symbol that need no explanation, or do not coincide with the theme of the map, are normally omitted from the map legend. Thematic symbols directly represent the maps theme and should stand out.
