What term refers to several maps mounted to form a continuous map?

• A. Proportional divider
• B. Mosaic
• C. Series Maps
• D. Map Compilation

Answer: (D)

When several map sheets are laid out and mounted together to form one continuous map, the arrangement is called a mosaic. A map mosaic describes the cohesive whole created by matching the edges of each sheet so there are no gaps, producing a seamless representation of a larger area. The other terms don’t fit as precisely: a proportional divider is a drafting tool used for scaling, not for describing the final assembled map; series maps are related maps that may remain separate sheets rather than joined into one continuous image; map compilation refers to the process of assembling maps into a product, not the resulting mounted form itself.
