# Type of maps (soorten kaarten)

The maps in The Grote Bosatlas can be divided into 3 different groups:

- General maps. For example: North, Middle and South Netherlands.
- Thematic maps. Maps about one topic (onderwerp)
- Topographic maps. Maps with a small scale number. For example: street map

How can we find these maps in the atlas? What is the difference between these maps?

In this chapter we will take a look at all these type of maps seperately (apart/los van elkaar).
