Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pictorial maps are a category of maps that are also loosely called illustrated maps, panoramic maps, perspective maps, bird''s-eye view maps and Geopictorial maps amongst others. In contrast to the regular road map, Atlas or topographic cartography, pictorial maps depict a given territory with a more artistic rather than technical style. The cartography can be a sophisticated 3-D perspective landscape or a simple map graphic enlivened with illustrations of buildings, people and animals.
