Horseshoe map

A horseshoe map is a type of map that shows land and the coast of an area in a way that looks like a horseshoe. On a horseshoe map, the outer edges of the horseshoe shape show the coastline, while the inner area shows the land inside the horseshoe curve. Horseshoe maps are sometimes used to show the area of a bay or other body of water.
