∙ 15y agoIf you are interested in where to find the interpretation of the symbols on a map, they are found in the legend of the map. (See the related question.) Symbols on a map increase the usefullness of the presentation. They help us identify places, lines of division, the routes of roads, rivers, rail lines, and a number of other things. The actual symbols will vary a bit from place to place as the maps vary. Color helps a great deal, too. Rivers are often blue meandering lines or bands. Roads can vary in color, by are often black. Rail lines are a usually a single line with short cross lines closely spaced like the cross ties on railroad tracks. Cities, towns and villages will be dots or circles, with larger ones indicating places of greater population.

The map is used for recording or showing information for example political buildings, cultural features, etc. But there are not enough space to show the size and the shape of the features such ad mountains river hills peaks etc. Thus they use color signs letters etc to represent the blinding river hospitals etc. these colors and shapes are called signs and symbols.Which helps in making the map look neater and making it easier to read and interpret
