Topographic maps are produced to a standard scale, while  topological maps are not. Maps have always been used to aid travelers  regarding location. As information science and the need for a new way to  disseminate information grew, mapping began to include themes. Dot maps  for instance depict storm damage in a certain location, or how much  soybean is produced in a certain state. The main purpose is to make the  map meaningful to its user by keeping to a standardsymbology or legend,  so that the map regardless of type, conveys the information necessary to  the user who deems it valuable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cartography is the study of creating maps.
