BABYLONIANS: 2300BCE 1ST MAPS
MEDITERRANEAN SAILORS: MAPS OF
ROCKS, SEA, CURRENTS EARLY 800’S
BCE
GREEKS: ANAXIMANDER WORLD MAP,
ARISTOTLE 384-322BCE 1ST TO DEMO
EARTH WAS SPHERICAL,
ERATOSTHENES 276?-194?BCE 1ST TO
USE WORD GEOGRAPHY, CALC EARTH’S
CIRCUMFERENCE, 1 OF EARLIEST WORLD
MAPS, DIVIDED EARTH INTO 5 CLIMATE
REGIONS
INQUIRY IN CHINA AS EARLY AS 4TH C
MUSLIMS: 800’s CE
REVIVAL OF CARTOGRAPHY AGE OF
EXPLORATION & DISCOVERY 165H - 17TH
CENT. COLUMBUS, MAGELLAN
MORE ACCURATE MAPS & TEXTS

IN THE
BEGINNING…
MAPS! WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?
O CARTOGRAPHY –
SCIENCE OF
MAPMAKING.
TODAY THIS IS
DONE WITH THE
AID OF
COMPUTERS &
SATELLITE
IMAGERY
O PURPOSE?
DIRECTIONS,
STORE
REFERENCE
MATERIAL,
COMMUNICATE
GEO. INFO.,
LOCATION, DIST.OF
PHYSICAL
FEATURES &
HUMAN ACTIVITIES
O MAPS LIE, KIND OF
ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATION
MAP OF COUNTRIES THAT HAVE McDONALD’S
WHAT KIND OF MAP IS THIS?
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF MAP PROJECTIONS
O
DISTORTION: SHAPE, RELATIVE SIZE OR AREAS, DISTANCE, DIRECTION
O
EQUAL AREA/GOODE: TEXT USES THESE MAPS - RELATIVE SIZES OF
LANDMASSES SAME AS IN REALITY; SHAPE OF LANDMASS DISTORTION
MINIMIZED BUT EASTERN & WESTERN HEMISPHERES SEPARATED – THIS IS
CALLED INTERRUPTION & MERIDIANS DON’T CONVERGE NORTH & SOUTH, LAT
& LONG DON’T FORM RIGHT ANGLES
O
ROBINSON: DISPLAYS INFO ACROSS OCEANS WELL BUT LAND AREAS
SMALLER THAN AN EQUAL AREA/HOMOLOSINE MAP AS A RESULT
O
MERCATOR: MINIMAL SHAPE DISTORTION, DIRECTION CONSISTENT, MAP
RECTANGULAR BUT RELATIVE SIZE GROSSLY DISTORTED TOWARD THE
POLES
O
GALL-PETERS: CONTINENTS APPEAR ELONGATED BUT ON THE + SIDE,
CONTINENT SIZE MORE ACCURATE
LOCATING POINTS ON EARTH
GEOGRAPHIC GRID
O MERIDIAN, LONGITUDE
O M. IS AN ARC DRAWN B/W N&S
POLES
O L. IS NUMBERING SYSTEM THAT
IDENTIFIES LOCATION OF EACH
MERIDIAN ON EARTH’S SURFACE
O
PARALLEL IS A CIRCLE DRAWN
AROUNG THE GLOBE PARALLEL TO
EQUATOR
O LATITUDE IS NUMBERING SYSTEM
USED TO INDICATE LOCATION OF A
PARALLEL

EARTH DIVIDED INTO 360° OF
LONGITUDE
ONE TIME ZONE = 15° L. AND
DIVIDE 360°/15° WE GET 24 TIME
ZONES; 1 FOR EACH HOUR OF
THE DAY
GREENWICH MEAN TIME (UT) IS
MASTER REFERENCE TIME FOR
ALL POINTS ON EARTH AT 0
LONGITUDE AKA PRIME
MERIDIAN
INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE 180°
LONGITUDE FOR THE MOST PART.
CLOCK MOVES BACK 24 HOURS
