A geology map is a map that, rather than showing the cities, roads and rivers in an area, shows the types of rocks that make up the area. There are different types of geology maps: a surficial geology map shows the rock types and soil types found right at the surface. A bedrock geology map shows the type of rocks that make up the solid rock underneath the soils and dirt at the surface.
