Cartography is the science and art of creating maps and graphic representations of the Earth or any other location.
It involves collecting, analyzing, and organizing geographic information to depict it on a map, allowing for an understanding and visualization of the spatial distribution of physical, cultural, and social features.
Cartography utilizes techniques such as measurement, projection, and symbolization to represent the topography, political boundaries, transportation networks, natural resources, and other relevant aspects of a geographic area accurately and comprehensibly. Maps are fundamental tools for navigation, urban planning, environmental management, and many other applications.
