Cartography is the science of making maps. It involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting geographic information to create visual representations of the Earth's surface. Cartographers use a variety of tools and techniques to create accurate maps that can be used for navigation, planning, resource management, and other purposes. Maps are created using a variety of data sources such as aerial photographs, satellite imagery, surveys, field observations and more. Cartographers must also consider factors such as scale and projection when creating their maps in order to ensure accuracy. By combining artistry with scientific principles cartographers are able to create beautiful yet useful maps that help us understand our world better than ever before.
