Hello:

Could someone explain the difference to me between a Bird’s-Eye View map
and a Pictorial Relief Map? I have read the definitions in the
Cartographic Materials manual and I am still not sure of what I have.

Are they both drawings?

I have a colorful drawing of a map of our ski area, showing all the ski
runs and the ski area boundaries, as seen from above. This is no scale
given. There are a few pictorial symbols for map legend, but no text
except the names of the ski runs.

Thank you very much for your help,

Rose Welton
