A plan view. Not an oblique view
Maps are typically drawn from a top-down perspective to provide a clear, bird's-eye view of the geographic layout. This allows for easy navigation and understanding of spatial relationships between locations. Additionally, a top-down view minimizes distortion and makes it easier to represent features accurately.
Maps may be drawn to scale or not to show more or less detail as needed. Satellite images on the other hand are actual photographs of what the ground and landscape are at a particular time. Both have many uses and tools like Google Maps allow you to switch from a map/street view to a satellite view with a click of the mouse.
