The two map visible on the above screenshot represent the area available to you when playing the thirtieth mission in the Metal Gear Solid V, entitled Skull Face. The first map shows the area from a wider perspective - you start off in the South-Western corner (point 1 on the map) and you have to get to the helicopter landing pad in the North-Eastern section of the OKB Zero base (point 3 on the map).
The second map offers a more detailed overview of the enemy base. During your march to the North-Easter section, you have to go through subsequent gates (points 6, 10 and 14 on the map) or use the alternative approach, focusing on getting there through the base walls (points 7, 11 and 15 on the map). During your journey you must watch out for enemy snipers (points 5, 8 and 16 on the map), as well as for the mine field (point 4 on the map). Don't forget about the secondary mission objectives, such as fultoning enemy tanks (points 9, 13 and 17), as well as the acquisition of the cassette tape (point 18 on the map).
