  12. History of Mapmaking • Cartography- mapmaking • Purpose of maps- • 1. reference tool • 2. communications tool

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  16. 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

  17. Non-Europeans • PheiHsiu (or FeiXiu)- elaborate map of China in AD 267 • al-Idrisi- Muslim world map in 1154

  18. Age of Exploration- world maps get more accurate and more available • Mercator’s Map • Ortelius’s Map
