The legend.
It is known as the "Legend".
The "Key" or "Legend".
The legend.
Most maps contain a helpful feature, usually at the bottom, called a legend. The legend explains the symbols used on that particular map.
The part of a map which explains its symbols are called legends/map symbols.
The legend of the map also contains important information and all of the thematic symbols of the map. Symbol that need no explanation, or do not coincide with the theme of the map, are normally omitted from the map legend. Thematic symbols directly represent the maps theme and should stand out. Hope this helps!! :-)
Features such as a map legend or key, labels or captions, scale, and compass rose can help determine the meanings of symbols on maps. These features provide important information about the symbols used on the map and help users interpret and understand the data represented.
The part of the map that contains information on what the symbols mean is called the key or the legend. Often, modern maps that we look at online don't have this essential part of the map, since these maps are easier to look at and understand than paper maps made earlier.

A map's legend helps you understand the symbols and colors used on the map, making it easier to interpret the information being presented. It provides a key to help you identify what different features or characteristics on the map represent.
