History of Mapmaking

Emmett’s map of Disney World(okay- it still needs labels to be a TRUE map, but he can’t write!)

This image, drawn by a 4 year old stores both reference material and geographic information. If he could spell, and there were labels, it would be more convincing!Black = scary ride (Pirates, Peter Pan)Green= good ride (Tree House, Buzz Lightyear is the largest one, his favorite!)Trust me, when he drew the rides they were in the right order!

Ga-Sur 2500 B.C.This is the oldest know map, drawn on a clay tablet in Ancient Babylon.The line drawing is a clearer image of the map, which explains the position of the town on a river, in a valley.

Early mapmaking:600-500 BC- Miletus, a city in modern Turkey- center of mapmaking

Some Early Greeks:Thales- used geometry to measure landAnaximander- world map made cylinderHecateus- first geography book

Aristotle- 1st to demonstrate that the Earth was a sphere

Erastosthenes- 1st to use word “geography”; calculated circumference of the Earth and came up with early map of climates

Ptolemy- created the Guide to Geography that listed basic principles of mapmaking. We used his maps for 1000+ years

Non-EuropeansPhei Hsiu (or Fei Xiu)- elaborate map of China in AD 267

al-Idrisi- Muslim world map in 1154

Age of Exploration- world maps get more accurate and more available
