Cartographic representation

Cartographic representation refers to the methods and techniques used to create maps, conveying geographic information visually. This includes symbols, colors, and labels that depict natural and human-made features, such as mountains, rivers, cities, and roads. By using different scales and projections, cartographers can represent the Earth's surface accurately, allowing for a better understanding of spatial relationships. Maps can serve various purposes, from navigation to illustrating demographic data, and their design choices influence how effectively they communicate information to the viewer.
