Strategic terrain charts
War maps are maps designed for military planning, strategy, or depicting the progress of armed conflicts.
They typically show troop positions, battle lines, terrain features, and tactical objectives.
During wartime, newspapers and broadcasts often display war maps to help civilians follow distant campaigns: She tracked her son's unit across the war map pinned to her kitchen wall.
