Explanation:

Hierarchy and balance are both principles that are taken into account when making a map. They are important parts of cartography for different reasons.

Hierarchy has to do with combining the many types of features, names, information, and landmarks that are found on the map. A proper hierarchy is necessary so that the elements which need to be visible seem more important.

Balance is an even more visual concept since it deals with the aesthetically pleasing aspect of the map. A well-balanced map will have the map element of the map near the center and will have strategically placed legends and titles that do not take away from the overall depiction of what is being mapped.
