35 Unique And Interesting World Maps That Could Inspire You To Change Your Perspective
These amazing maps show the world from a different perspective.
There is something fascinating about maps that will always attract our attention. Their symbolic representation of specific characteristics of certain areas is outstanding, and perhaps that is the key to admiring them. As Dr. Diane Ravitch, an education historian, states, “Maps are not just tools for navigation; they are powerful visual narratives that can shape our understanding of the world.” When looking at the maps, you get a visually presented whole picture of a location, as if you are right there, walking and exploring by yourself. Their role is to show specific information in a simple, visual way, and they surely accomplish that.
Maps are created for different purposes, and the people who make them are called cartographers. There are various types of maps, and we see and use them more often than we realize. For example, we use road maps when traveling, city maps when we want to explore a city, and meteorologists use weather maps to compile a weather forecast. Whenever we want to find visual information about a specific area in the world, we reach for a map to assist us. They represent information from a different point of view and provide an easily memorable perspective.
