TYPES OF MAPS USED IN STUDYING HISTORY:
POLITICAL MAPS:
Historians use many different types of maps. One of the most familiar type of map is the political
map. Political maps show political divisions, [important in study of political fragmentation of
South Asia] such as boarders between countries or states. Colors on a political map help make
the divisions clear. Political maps also show the location of cities. This map on next page shows
South Asia today.

Physical Maps:
Physical maps show the major physical features of a region, such as seas, rivers, and mountains.
Many physical maps, such as the one below, use colors to indicate elevation. Elevations are the
height of the land above sea level. Relief indicated by shading, shows how quickly the land falls
or rises. On a relief map, mountains seem to rise off the page.
