Strictly speaking, cartography is the drawing or compiling
of maps. The explorers and surveyors go out and make
measurements and gather the information from which the
cartographers draw their maps. Sometimes the fieldwork
and the creation of the map are done by the same person.
But when the scope is broad and the sources of
information many, maps are more often a compilation of
that information. They represent the accumulated work of
many people, brought together under the supervision of
