map rooms
Navigation planning spaces
Map rooms are spaces dedicated to displaying and studying maps, typically in military, government, or historical contexts.
During wartime, commanders gathered in map rooms to track troop movements and plan strategy.
The term evokes images of walls covered with large maps, pins marking positions, and officers deliberating over terrain: Churchill spent long hours in the underground map room during the Blitz.
