- | [[Image:Carte du tendre.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The ''[[Map of Tendre]]'' (''Carte du Tendre'') is a French map of an [[imaginary country]] called ''[[Tendre]]'' produced by several hands (including [[Catherine de Rambouillet]]). It appeared as an engraving (attributed to [[François Chauveau]]) in the first part of [[Madeleine de Scudéry]]'s 1654-61 novel ''[[Clélie]]''. It shows a geography entirely based around the theme of [[love]] according to the [[Précieuses]] of that era: the river of Inclination flows past the villages of "Billet Doux" ([[love letter|Love Letter]]), "Petits Soins" (Little Trinkets) and so forth.]] | + | [[Image:Carte du tendre.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The ''[[Map of Tendre]]'' (''Carte du Tendre'')]] |

A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.
Many maps are static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate (or approximately accurate) representations of three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even three-dimensional. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or imagined, without regard to context or scale; e.g. Brain mapping, DNA mapping, and extraterrestrial mapping.
