Dating back to approximately 6000 BCE, we can judge that

▸ maps have appeared in many forms in different societies and times, including modern paper maps, GPS in cars, and the urban maps of ancient Turkey.

▸ sailors during the European Renaissance had paper maps that were far more useful to them than were the "stick charts" possessed by Polynesian sailors and fishers.

▸ fairly accurate navigational maps could only be produced after the start of the Industrial Revolution.

▸ the first "true" maps appeared because of modern printing presses in the twentieth century.

▸ maps that distort the sizes of Greenland and Antarctica are generally the best, although they make Africa and South America appear too small while simultaneously expanding the size of Europe.
