Hi,
In simple words, the map is a topographical representation of various elements, location, places, regions etc. all the information present on maps can be seen on site. The map is a study of the whole location. It is given information about important points.
The plan is a dimensional representation place, region, structure, building with various detail information. It also includes hidden data and diagrams. It gives detailed information about small areas in symbolic forms.

The difference between MAP & PLAN are as follows ;
MAP : Generally, MAP is said to be a visual representation of an area. It can also be said as a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes. Map contains a lot of information. It shows only the important features of the area.
PLAN : PLAN are a set of two-dimensional diagrams or drawings used to describe a place or an object, or to communicate building or fabrication instructions. In plan details are given in form of symbols. Thus, it can show both length and breadth.
