Geographical maps are designed with humans in mind. Their size, level of detail, and coloring show that they were meant for creatures with the body size, computing capacity, and visual ability of typical homo sapiens. Some maps are distorted geographically to become more useful. For instance, New York's subway map is more useful for a train rider when it is less geographically precise.
