What Makes a ‘Good’ Map and Why Are They So Important?

A good map helps you find your way. Imagine you're trying to get from one place to another, like from home to the park. A good map shows the roads clearly so you know which direction to go. Sometimes maps are plain and simple, but they can also be colorful and fun, like a treasure map with hidden clues!
