What is a Schematic Map?

A schematic map is a geographical representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures.

It usually omits all details that are not relevant to the key information and is intended to convey, and may include oversimplified elements in order to make this essential meaning easier to grasp.
