No "map key"/ "map legend"

A map key or map legend defines what the colors mean. This map needs a key or legend, otherwise it is misleading or meaningless.

"A map key or legend is included with a map to unlock it. It gives you the information needed for the map to make sense. Maps often use symbols or colors to represent things, and the map key explains what they mean. Map keys are often boxes in the corner of the map, and the information they give you is essential to understanding the map. Symbols in the key might be pictures or icons that represent different things on the map. ...Sometimes the map might by colored or shaded, and the key explains what the colors and shades mean."[1] A ri gi bod (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
