Cartography The art and science of making maps, including
data compilation, layout, and design. Also concerned with the interpretation of
mapped patterns.
A stone tablet found in a cave in Abauntz in the Navarra region of
northern Spain is believed to contain the earliest known
representation of a landscape.

Maps
Visual representation of the earth’s surface or the phenomenon (any observable occurrence) that occur on the earth’s surface.

Map Scale The degree to which a map “zooms in” on the
area it is representing.
Scale tells you what extent the portion of the earth represented on the map has been reduced from its original size to fit on the map.

For example, 1 inch on a map may equal 10 miles in the real world. That scale might be written as 1 inch = 10 miles.
Sometimes, scale is indicated as a fraction. “1/10 miles” or “1:10 miles” means 1 inch on the
map equals 10 miles in the real world.

THIS IS THE TRICKY PART Counterintuitive part of mapping:
“LARGE” OR “SMALL” scale. The more “zoomed in” the map is on an area, the
larger is its map scale. large-scale map depicts a smaller area
The less “zoomed in” the map is on an area, the smaller is its scale. Small-scale map depicts a larger area

So? Transforming something spherical into
something flat means that the 2-D image will never exactly represent what is visible in three-dimensions.
Geographers use numerous mathematical equations to produce map projections.

All flat maps have some distortion in their representation of: Distance Shape Area Or direction.

Types of Projections Equal-area (or equivalent) projections: maps
that maintain area but distort other properties.
Conformal (or orthomorphic) projections: maps that maintain shape but distort other properties (it is impossible to have a projection that is both conformal and equal area).
Azimuthal projections: maps that maintain direction but distort other properties.
Equidistant projections: maps that maintain distance but distort other properties.

Mercator Projection Cylindrical map projection Useful for navigation because it maintains
accurate direction Famous for their distortion in area that makes
landmasses at the poles appear oversized

Peters Projection Cylindrical map projection Attempts to retain all the accurate sizes of all
the world’s landmasses Sometimes used as a political statement- that
we should refocus our attention to the tropics, home to large landmasses and many of the world’s poorest countries.

landmasses Completely rearranges direction such that the
four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) no longer have any meaning.

Robinson Projection Attempts to balance several possible
projection errors. Does not maintain completely accurate area,
shape, distance, or direction, but it minimizes errors in each.

Azimuthal Projection Planar
Formed when a flat piece of paper is placed on top of the globe and, as described earlier, a light source projects the surrounding areas onto the map.
Either the North Pole or South Pole is oriented at the center of the map which gives the viewer the impression of looking up or down at the earth.

Contour Maps (Isopleths)
Isolines- Lines on a map depicting areas of same or like values.
Contour maps use isolines, or contour lines, to depict where the same elevation exists.
The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.

GIS map A geographic information system (GIS)
integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.
