In
mathematics,
geology, and
cartography, a Surface Map is a
2D
perspective representation of
3D
surface.
Surface maps usually represent real-world items such as landforms or the surfaces of objects. They can, however, serve as an abstraction where the third, or even all of the dimensions correspond to non-spatial data. In this capacity they act more as graphs than maps.
