What are different types of small-scale maps?
Small-scale maps are drawn to show large areas and are divided into two main types: Wall Maps and Atlas Maps.
Wall Maps are generally drawn on large-sized paper or a plastic base for use in classrooms or lecture halls. Their scale is generally smaller than topographical maps but larger than atlas maps.
Atlas Maps are very small-scale maps that represent fairly large areas and present a highly generalised picture of physical or cultural features. They serve as a graphic encyclopaedia of geographical information about the world, continents, countries, or regions.
Explanation
The textbook context explicitly lists the two types of small-scale maps under section '(ii) Small-scale Maps'. The answer identifies these types as Wall Maps and Atlas Maps and provides the specific descriptions found in the text regarding their scale, material, and purpose.
