Because if you try to put all the things that anyone wanted to see on a map, it would be too cluttered to read. It is better to have a special purpose map for a special purpose. Then you can see what it is that you want to see, without getting confused or wasting time and missing important points.

See whether you can find a couple of marvellous books by Edward R. Tufte (Don't be put off by their stuffy titles, just page through them and see what a difference a well-designed special purpose map can make!)

The books' titles are:

"Envisioning Information"

and

"The Visual Display of Quantitative Information."
