"a thing that should represent another thing" - appropriate words for this are "likeness" or "representation". If you limit yourself to the visual realm, you could also use "image". In this case, since the map is drawn, you could use the word "drawing" or "illustration".
The word "photo" means specifically an image captured with a camera (either the actual captured data or the printed version thereof.) So it's not an appropriate term for e.g. a drawn map.
Just FYI.
