Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Cartography (in Greek chartis = map and graphein = write) is the study and practice of making geographical maps. Combining science, aesthetics, and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively.

The fundamental problems of cartography are to[citation needed]

The earliest known map is a matter of some debate, both because the definition of "map" is not sharp and because some artifacts speculated to be maps might actually be something else. A wall painting, which may depict the ancient Anatolian city of Çatalhöyük (previously known as Catal Huyuk or Çatal Hüyük), has been dated to the late 7th millennium BCE.[1][2] Other known maps of the ancient world include the Minoan “House of the Admiral” wall painting from c. 1600 BCE, showing a seaside community in an oblique perspective and an engraved map of the holy Babylonian city of Nippur, from the Kassite period (14th&_160;– 12th centuries BCE).[3]

The ancient Greeks and Romans created maps, beginning at latest with Anaximander in the 6th century BC.[4] In the 2nd century AD, Ptolemy produced his treatise on cartography, Geographia. [5] This contained Ptolemy's world map - the world then known to Western society (Ecumene). As early as the 700s, Arab scholars were translating the works of the Greek geographers into Arabic.[6]

It was not easy creating a jigsaw puzzle due all the work involved as you can imagine.Wooden jigsaw puzzles soon arrived to the U.S. and became an entertainment for adults as well. They called their product the Pastime Puzzle. Those old wooden jigsaw puzzles were much more challanging.The pieces were cut exactly on the color lines. There was no in... (read more)

2. How To Design A Map Quiz That Even A Cartographer Would Love
June 08, 2007

Q. How can I design an interesting map quiz? A. You can't. At least you can't if you intend to design a map quiz where you draw some geographical areas and then ask "Where is South America?". While that would definitely qualify as a map quiz, it wouldn't make the grade of an "interesting" map quiz. There is a thin line between geography quiz and map quiz. Once you cross that line, and get away from the simple geography, you can make a map quiz downright interesting. For example, you might design a map quiz that asks questions about how maps are actually made. A lot of people don... (read more)
