TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
It may not be worth the effort, but I think of a detailed map in a newspaper
article that has a thumbnail in one of the corners showing the larger region
and a rectangle of where the detailed region is located in the larger
region.

I have used the phrase "partial screen shot" in the past.

Subject: Partial Screenshot Indicators
I am creating a User Guide for a software application. Often, a screenshot
of the full screen is useless, because it's so small in printed
documentation. I typically don't do this, but only add a partial screenshot
that highlights the text describing it. Are there any rules for indicating
that the screenshot is partial? I don't like the look of a jagged edge, but
wonder what other folks do in this situation.
