The map in question is a topographical map.

Explanation:

There are numerous different types of maps and every one of them has its own special purpose. One of the most commonly used types of maps is the topographic map. This a type of map where the focus is on the relief, or rather it gives us a good representation of the sloping and elevation of the mapped area.

In this case, we have a national park, represented on a map that uses lines to show sloping and elevation. This is a typical example of the topographic map as the map is showing exactly that, the topography, or relief of the area. The lines that are mentioned are contour lines, which are lines specialized specifically for the purpose of reprsenting relief as better as possible.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
