cartography
Significado: The science and art of making maps, including the design, production, and study of geographical representations.
Cartography has evolved from hand-drawn medieval maps to sophisticated digital mapping systems using satellite imagery and GIS (Geographic Information Systems). The Ordnance Survey, founded in 1791, is Britain's national mapping agency and one of the world's oldest. Cartography is essential in urban planning, military strategy, environmental management, and navigation. A practitioner is called a cartographer.
