island maps
Charted land masses
Island maps are cartographic representations of islands, showing their coastlines, topography, and features.
The term often appears in video games and fantasy literature, where island maps serve as bounded game worlds or fictional settings—the water boundary providing a natural edge to the explorable space.
The game starts you with a blank island map to fill in as you explore.
