Map
is a picture of the earth's surface on a flat surface and scaled with a certain
scale, equipped with the symbols and writings as identification. A
map is a picture or representation of the Earth's surface, showing how
things are related to each other by distance, direction, and size. Maps are a
way of showing many things about a portion of the earth's surface on a flat
piece of paper that can be carried and transported easily. A map is not a
photograph of the Earth's surface. It can show many things that a picture
cannot show, and as a result, a map looks different in many ways from a
photograph of the Earth's surface
Maps
have been used for centuries. A person who creates map as a profession is
called a cartographer
Making maps can be done by:
1. The direct measurements in the field
2. The use of remote sensing image
3. The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Functions and Objectives Map
Mapping functions, among others:
1.
Shows the relative location on the
earth's surface
2.
Storing information
3.
Describe the shape of the earth's
surface
Types of Maps
1. Based on the contents
2. Based on the goal
3. Based on the type
4. Based on the state of the object
5. Based on the shape of the pattern of population density
6. Based on the scale
Terms of making maps
1. Conform, which forms the area to be drawn according to the
original form.
2. Equivalent, ie wide field or area should be drawn as real
proportional to the area.
3. Equidistant, which is described to be the right distance in
comparison with the state of the actual distance.
