To make or draw a map or chart of a geographical area or region.
From carto- (Greek kartos, map) + -graph (Greek graphein, to write or draw). This verb form emerged in English as cartography became an established discipline.
When explorers cartographed unknown territories, they were literally creating the world's knowledge—every line they drew changed what humanity knew about geography, and errors on early maps sometimes influenced exploration routes for centuries.
