Defined in header <map>
template<     class Key,     class T,     class Compare = std::less<Key>,     class Allocator = std::allocator<std::pair<const Key, T> > > class map;

Map is an associative container that contains a sorted list of unique key-value pairs. That list is sorted using the comparison function Compare applied to the keys. Search, removal, and insertion operations have logarithmic complexity. Maps are usually implemented as red-black trees.
