A treasure map is a visual representation that indicates the location of hidden treasure. Often depicted with symbols, markings, and sometimes a path, these maps guide treasure hunters to the desired spot. They can be fictional, as seen in stories like Treasure Island, or based on real historical events. Treasure maps typically include landmarks, such as mountains, rivers, or trees, to help navigators find their way. They may also feature clues or riddles that need to be solved to uncover the treasure's exact location. The allure of treasure maps has made them popular in adventure tales and games.
