Special purpose map?
"What's a special purpose map?" is a map that may show watercourses, streams and rivers, etc in an area. Or it may show country boundaries, or village buildings and surrounding field systems. In all examples above, details such as road layout, and other general physical features normally shown on a map, may be shown in faint detail, or not at all, so as not to hide the specific purpose that the map was originally published to show.
If you wanted to find what an inch on the map represented in actual distance where would you look?
You would look at the scale of the map. The scale indicates the comparison between the distances on the map - to distances in the real world. For example... if the map scale shows 1:10,000 - That means every unit on the map is equal to 10,000 units in real life.

Why isn't the dead sea shown on a map?
The Dead Sea is shown on maps. You may be missing it if you are looking in the wrong part of the world, or if you are looking at a map of the entire world because the Dead Sea is a comparatively small inland sea; too small to be included in a world map. Suggest you look on a specialized map of the Holy Land, in the area of Israel and Jordan.

The legend may or may not include the compass rose. The maker or copyright on the map is usually in the legend as well.
