Polish School of Cartography

The Polish School of Cartography was a renowned movement in the 20th century that emphasized precise, innovative, and scientifically grounded map-making. Originating in Poland, particularly in the interwar period, it integrated advances in geography, mathematics, and technology to produce highly detailed and accurate maps. These cartographers prioritized clarity, accuracy, and the use of new methods, greatly influencing global mapping practices. Their work laid important foundations for modern cartography, improving how we visualize and understand spatial information across disciplines like science, military, and urban planning.
