Shading and contour lines are an attempt by the map makers to show the terrain covered by the map.
Concentric circles on topographic maps indicate the presence of a hill or peak, with each circle representing a different elevation level. The closer the circles are to each other, the steeper the slope of the hill or peak.
Different maps are useful because they each show different kinds of information:Climate maps give general information about climate and precipitation in a certain area. Precipitation levels are represented in different colors.Economic/Resource maps feature the natural resources or economic society that impact an area.Physical maps show the physical features of an area, such as mountains, rivers, and lakes.Political maps do not show these physical features; instead, they indicate state and national boundaries, as well as capital and major cities.Road maps show major highways and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities, and points of interest in an area.Topographical maps are much like physical maps, but these include contour lines to indicate the shape and elevation of an area.
Data Maps
Borders are lines put around boxes. They can be complete boxes, or selected sides. Shading allows you to colour cells and have them different shades of a colour.

There are 5 types of weather maps. There are Pressure Maps, Station Model Maps, Aviation Maps, Temperature Maps, and Streamline Maps.
Most maps have a key or legend, a scale to show distances, and a compass rose to indicate direction.
