Bianco <[log in to unmask]> To: 'Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum' <[log in to unmask]> From the description, I think that "skeleton maps" are the same called in Italy "Carta muta" (silent map) and were used at school exams. The teacher showed a mountain, or a river, or a city, and asked the pupil to tell the correct name. I remember that in my old atlas (used when I was 11 years old) there were standard maps and a section with some "Carte mute". Unfortunately I haven't got that atlas.

I found an obscure reference to something called a skeleton map that shows only water and relief, but have been unable to find anymore detailed information. Is there someone there who is able to explain what exactly a skeleton map is and what it is used for? Thank you so much for your time. Angie M.
