Networks covering a limited or small geographic area are typically called LANs (local area networks). Of course, it depends heavily on your description of "small geographic area"
LAN- Local area network
Metropolitan Area Networks, or "metro" networks, typically cover a city, or several conjoined cities. Campus networks typically cover a business or school campus, spanning multiple buildings. Local Area Networks, or LANs, typically reside in a single building.
Two types of computer networks are LAN (Local Area Network), which connects devices within a small geographic area like an office or building, and WAN (Wide Area Network), which connects devices over a larger geographic area, such as across cities or countries.
Networks can be primarily divided into two categories: local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). LANs are confined to a small geographic area, such as a single building or campus, facilitating high-speed connections among devices. In contrast, WANs cover larger geographical areas, often connecting multiple LANs, and typically utilize public or leased telecommunication lines to facilitate communication over long distances.
Computer geographic scope is the coverage that computers have within a certain geographic area. It is also how far the computer along with its network can reach geographically. Local networks use dedicated data channels and consist of private branch exchanges and local area networks. Wide-area networks use telecommunication channels and also include value added networks.
Wide area network (WAN) that is usually a larger network that covers a large geographic area.
A small or limited network is often referred to as a "local area network" (LAN). LANs typically connect devices within a confined geographic area, such as a home, office, or building. They enable resource sharing and communication among connected devices while maintaining a limited scope compared to larger networks like wide area networks (WANs).
If they are in a local geographic area but two separate networks that would technically be a WAN. Of course some people call them MAN's for "Metropolitan area network."
A group of computers connected and working together to share resources and information is commonly referred to as a "network." Networks can vary in size and complexity, ranging from small local area networks (LANs) to vast wide area networks (WANs) that span geographic locations. They enable communication, data sharing, and collaborative computing among users and devices.

Networks can also be clasiffied by geographical scope in LAN and WANs.Local area network (LAN) connects connects computer and other devices, located within a limit area by using dedicated data channels specifically installed for transimitting data.Wide area network (WANs) uses a large geographical area and uses telecommunications for transimitting dataand it is alsoComputer geographic scope is the coverage that computers have within a certain geographic area.It is also how far the computer along with its network can reach geographically.

False. A network created to provide Internet access to a specific geographic area is typically referred to as a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and would not be classified as a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). MANs are typically larger networks that cover a city or metropolitan area.
