Map or drawing/painting/diagram?

  • Kastrel by Kastrel

    There have been quite a few plans of flower-gardens etc. Should I mark them as maps or drawing/painting/diagrams?

    Oh, that's a tough one. I would say map as it is an image designed to show you the physical layout of the Horticultural Society garden.

    Thanks. How about this one: ASC0002ud2 which is not a map of an existing garden but a proposed plan for one?

    I classified it as a drawing (if I remember well).

    I agree with Geoff - I consider plans to be representations showing physical features of something so whether its a building, garden, landscape etc. they could all be marked as "maps"
