To find maps, you would typically use an atlas rather than a dictionary, thesaurus, or encyclopedia. An atlas is a collection of maps that provides geographic information, while encyclopedias offer detailed descriptions of topics but do not focus specifically on maps. A thesaurus is used for finding synonyms and antonyms, making it irrelevant for map-related inquiries.
