What is Cartography:
The science of mapmaking is called Cartography. This science plays a large role in 21st century and will continue to be key in solving many social, environmental and economical issues in the future. We use GPS frequently; whether driving in the car or flying a plane. Not only are maps great navigation systems, GIS will prove to be very helpful when it comes to the earth's many environmental issues. From studying different layers of the earth using this system, scientists can observe pollution patterns, lack of vegitation and other problems along those lines.
