Networks covering a limited or small geographic area are typically called LANs (local area networks). Of course, it depends heavily on your description of "small geographic area"
LANs
LAN- Local area network
Metropolitan Area Networks, or "metro" networks, typically cover a city, or several conjoined cities. Campus networks typically cover a business or school campus, spanning multiple buildings. Local Area Networks, or LANs, typically reside in a single building.
Two types of computer networks are LAN (Local Area Network), which connects devices within a small geographic area like an office or building, and WAN (Wide Area Network), which connects devices over a larger geographic area, such as across cities or countries.
Computer geographic scope is the coverage that computers have within a certain geographic area. It is also how far the computer along with its network can reach geographically. Local networks use dedicated data channels and consist of private branch exchanges and local area networks. Wide-area networks use telecommunication channels and also include value added networks.
Wide area network (WAN) that is usually a larger network that covers a large geographic area.
If they are in a local geographic area but two separate networks that would technically be a WAN. Of course some people call them MAN's for "Metropolitan area network."

Networks can also be clasiffied by geographical scope in LAN and WANs.Local area network (LAN) connects connects computer and other devices, located within a limit area by using dedicated data channels specifically installed for transimitting data.Wide area network (WANs) uses a large geographical area and uses telecommunications for transimitting dataand it is alsoComputer geographic scope is the coverage that computers have within a certain geographic area.It is also how far the computer along with its network can reach geographically.

A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such as in an office building, a school, or a home. A LAN is useful for sharing resources. A WAN spans a large geographic area, such as a state, province or country. WANs often connect multiple smaller networks, such as local area networks (LANs) or metro area networks (MANs).
Local Area Network
Subnets are designed for local area networks (LANS) that are used in an organization or building. Wide area networks cover larger areas and don't use subnets.
