What type of chart would a navigator use to find detailed features of an area?

A large scale chart provides a greater level of detail for a specific area compared to smaller scale charts. This type of chart is ideal for navigating in close quarters where precise feature identification is crucial, such as in coastal waters or when planning a route through busy shipping lanes. Detailed features may include depths, navigational aids, hazards, and topographical features that are vital for safe navigation.

In contrast, small scale charts cover larger geographical areas but portray less detail. They are useful for providing an overview of a region but lack the specifics needed for detailed navigation in localized areas. Navigational charts serve a general purpose of aiding in navigation but might not provide the intricate details found in large scale charts. Harbor charts, while they do offer detail for specific ports and harbors, are usually considered a subset of large scale charts focused primarily on facilitating navigation in confined areas. Therefore, a large scale chart is most appropriate for finding detailed features of an area.
