Here, the top-heavy main map is balanced by the non-map elements below.
Inset maps may serve several purposes, such as showing the context of the main map in a larger area, showing more detail for a subset of the main map, showing a separated but related area, or showing related themes for the same region. A bar scale or other indication of scale translates between map measurements and real distances.
