map art

Decorative terrain depictions

Map art is decorative work that uses maps or cartographic elements as its visual medium.

This includes vintage maps displayed as wall decor, stylized city grids, topographic prints, and custom maps marking meaningful locations.

The term also applies to pixel art created within video game maps, where players arrange in-game elements to form images visible from above: Someone made incredible map art of the Mona Lisa in Minecraft.
