What Makes a ‘Good’ Map?

A good map is like a picture that helps you find your way. It shows important things, like streets and places, in a way that makes sense. If the lines are too wiggly or the words are too small, it can be confusing. A good map has clear shapes and uses colors to help you see what’s where. Think of it like a fun puzzle that helps you get from one place to another.
