Treasure Maps

A treasure map is a variation of a map to mark the location of buried treasure, a lost mine, a valuable secret or a hidden location. More common in fiction than in reality, "pirate treasure maps" are often depicted in works of fiction as hand drawn and containing arcane clues for the characters to follow. Regardless of the term's literary use, anything that meets the criterion of a "map" that describes the location of a "treasure" could appropriately be called a "treasure map."

Famous quotes containing the words treasure and/or maps:

    Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
    But being got it is a treasure sweet,
    Which to defend is harder than to get:
    And ought not be prophaned on either part,
    For though ‘tis got by chance, ‘tis kept by art.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    And at least you know

    That maps are of time, not place, so far as the army
    Happens to be concerned—the reason being,
    Is one which need not delay us.
    Henry Reed (1914–1986)
