Pirate maps are special types of maps that were often created by pirates to show the locations of hidden treasures. These maps typically feature symbols, drawings, and markings that indicate where valuable items, like gold or jewels, can be found. The maps often include landmarks, such as mountains or rivers, to help pirates navigate to the treasure. Many pirate maps are associated with legends and stories, such as the famous Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. While some maps are based on real locations, others are purely fictional. Today, pirate maps are popular in movies, books, and games, capturing the imagination of many.
