Mapping Agencies

Mapping agencies are organizations responsible for creating, maintaining, and updating geographic maps and spatial data. They gather information through surveys, satellite imaging, and other technologies to provide accurate representations of Earth's features, boundaries, and infrastructure. These agencies support government planning, land management, navigation, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. Examples include national agencies like the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or Ordnance Survey in the UK. Their work ensures that maps and geographic data are reliable, up-to-date, and available for public, commercial, and government use.
