The prime motive for these kind of maps is to reduce dimensionality through a neural network. The following diagram shows the different 2D patterns from the input layers:

They take the number of columns as input. As we can see from the 2D output, it transforms and reduces the amount of columns in the dataset into 2D.
The following link leads to the the 2D output: https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~kpang/nn/som.html
The depiction of the preceding diagram in 2D talks about a health of the country ...
