Mapping a particular place involves the process giving form and meaning to our environment. It is in this sense that we understand cartography as both art and science that marks the identity of a place.

There are different types of maps in human history. In some instances, maps have served as weapons of colonizers and the root cause of war and contestations. Maps are also used to create new pathways and to give people some sense of direction. Maps are also instrumental in consolidating information on local knowledge, such as in “cultural mapping” projects.
