| Cartography (Mapmaking) and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Resources |
Cartography is the fancy term for map making. As with most other areas of science, cartography has advanced well beyond simply drawing physical locations of regions and labeling them accordingly. The advent of computer technology and automated data collection has provided a virtually infinite amount of information as well as means for presenting it. Spaceborne imaging platforms have enabled a level of detail and coverage that could never have even been imagined by the likes of Columbus and Lewis and Clarke.
