National Mapping

National mapping involves creating detailed geographic representations of a country’s natural and built features, such as landforms, boundaries, roads, and infrastructure. These maps are produced using various data collection methods like satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and surveys. They serve important functions in urban planning, environmental management, disaster response, and navigation. National mapping ensures that accurate, up-to-date geographic information is available for government agencies, businesses, and the public, facilitating informed decision-making and effective resource management across the nation.
