geographical mapping

Geographical mapping is the process of creating visual representations of Earth's surface, showing locations and features such as landforms, cities, roads, and natural resources. Using tools like satellite imagery, surveys, and GPS data, maps help people understand spatial relationships and navigate environments. They can be in various forms—paper, digital, or interactive—each designed to convey geographic information clearly. Essentially, mapping translates complex spatial data into a visual format that makes it easier to analyze, plan, and make informed decisions about the physical world.
