Explanation

Mappa mundi is the Latin term for medieval European world maps, which typically took the form of T-O maps or later, more accurate representations. These maps were often symbolic rather than strictly geographical, with Jerusalem at the center. Topographical and elevation maps are modern conventions, while 'reversed map' is not a standard cartographic term for medieval maps.
