Certainly! A reference map is a type of map that provides general information about a geographic area. It focuses on the physical features of the location such as boundaries, roads, rivers, and topography. These maps typically do not show specialized or specific data, but rather provide a baseline for understanding the spatial layout of a place.

On the other hand, a thematic map is a map that focuses on a specific theme or topic, such as population density, climate, land use, or economic activity. These maps use colors, symbols, or patterns to represent the data related to the chosen theme. Thematic maps help to visualize and analyze spatial patterns and relationships associated with the particular theme.

Therefore, the key difference between a reference map and a thematic map is that a reference map provides general information about a location, while a thematic map focuses on specific data or characteristics of a location related to a particular theme.
