Base map
The Geospatial Glossary, published by the Geospatial Commission, and accessed on 17 September 2022, defines base maps as: ‘Spatial data sets that provide the background upon which more specific thematic data is overlaid and analyzed. As inputs into a GIS, the term base map is usually applied to those sources of information about relatively permanent features including topography, soil data, geology, cadastral divisions, and political divisions. Within a GIS database, such information may become part of a land base to which other information is indexed and referenced.’
