The document discusses the three main components of maps: distance, which is represented through scales that relate distances on a map to distances on the ground; direction, which uses cardinal and intermediate directions as well as compasses; and symbols, which use standardized icons, colors, and lines to represent features that cannot be drawn to scale like buildings and roads.
