Road Map

Road maps, also known as route maps, indicate roads and other transport links. They are navigational maps that also include political boundaries, making them part of political maps. Apart from road and boundaries, road maps also show certain points of interest such as tourism sites, prominent buildings, recreational facilities like parks and restaurants, train stations, and airports.

Geologic Map

A geological map is a map that is used to show geological features such as geologic strata and rock units. The location of these features underneath the earth's surface is shown by symbols or colors. Other features such as fault lines, foliations, and folds are shown with strike and dip symbols which gives them a three-dimensional orientation. There are two main types of orientation measurements: orientation of planes measured as “dip” and “strike” and orientation of lines measured as “trend” and “plunge.” Trend and plunge are symbolized by single arrows and are used for linear features while strike and dip are symbolized by a long strike line perpendicular to the direction of the slope. In the US, geologic maps are superimposed over topographic maps with additional color masks with letters to represent a geologic unit. In the UK, the term “geological map” is used instead of a “geologic map.”

Election Result Maps

Election Result Maps are also considered as a type of political map. The purpose of an election result map is to show the geographic location of a candidate and where he or she has received the most support/votes. These geographic locations are most commonly political subdivisions of a country, state, and more.

The most famous type of election map would be the red state and blue state map of the United States of America during the presidential elections. The states that win with Republican votes are distinguished with a red color, whereas the states that win with Democratic votes are distinguished with a blue color.
