Cartography is the art and science of making maps. Until the 1960s, maps were made the time honored, traditional way:
1. Draw an original map by hand, based on land survey measurements and other information.
2. Print as many copies as you need. That changed with the advent of computers, satellite imagery, and Global Positioning System (GPS), which made making maps much easier. Most paper maps now are generated or produced on a computer.
