The compass rose in the legend tells you which way is north on the map. The scale of the map will allow you to convert an inch on the map into miles. The legend will also define any other symbols on the map

It's the little box in a corner that tells you what all the symbols and/or different colors mean, usually with an indication of the direction by a compass, the distance measurement and the name of the map.

It's just an explanation in words about what you see on the map. It has nothing to do with stories. That's another meaning of "legend."

A legend on a map would show distance, city marks, airports, camping areas, roads, interstates.
