Map extent refers to the geographical area represented by a map at a specific scale, usually defined by the rectangular coordinates of the area displayed. In digital mapping and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), the extent is often represented by the minimum and maximum coordinates of the map's boundaries, defined by their latitude and longitude or by pixel coordinates in the case of raster images. The map extent helps to determine the visible area and the level of detail available on the map.
