Map Legend

Imagine trying to assemble a piece of flat-pack furniture without any instructions. Just as the assembly guide provides meaning to various parts and steps, helping you understand how each piece fits together, a map legend explains the symbols used on a map, guiding you through unfamiliar terrain. In both scenarios, the guide or legend acts as a translator, turning seemingly random symbols or pieces into a coherent, understandable system that allows you to navigate the task at hand, whether it's building a bookshelf or finding your way through a city.
