regional maps

Area navigation charts

Regional maps depict a specific geographic area smaller than global but larger than local—a state, province, country, or multi-country region.

They show features relevant to that scale: major roads, cities, topography, political boundaries.

The regional map showed all of New England.

Unlike world maps or city plans, regional maps balance detail with coverage of a meaningful territory.
