the difference between a political and physical map is that political maps are the imaginary boundaries (ex. states boundary for ct is a political boundary) and a physical map shows rivers, bodies of water, mountains, ect. (ex. map of rivers is a phsical map.
The difference between the two is that physical is terrain and political is location and cities.
