Engineering maps are specifically designed to provide detailed information about the layout, features, and specifications of construction projects. They typically include elements such as the design of infrastructure, site layouts, materials needed, dimensions, and elevations. This type of map is crucial for contractors, engineers, and architects during the planning and execution phases of a project, ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of how the project is intended to develop and be constructed.

Geographical maps focus more on broader terrains and landscapes, rather than the specific details of a construction project. Cadastral maps mainly show land ownership and property boundaries, which, while important, do not provide the technical detail needed for construction. Topographic maps illustrate the land's terrain features, such as elevation changes and landforms, but they do not convey the specific designs and arrangements required for engineering and construction purposes. Therefore, engineering maps are the most appropriate choice for detailing the layout and features of a construction project.
