Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or imagined, without regard to context or scale; e.g. brain mapping, DNA mapping and extraterrestrial mapping.<br /> <br /> Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times. The word &quot;map&quot; comes from the medieval Latin Mappa mundi, wherein mappa meant napkin or cloth and mundi the world. Thus, &quot;map&quot; became the shortened term referring to a two-dimensional representation of the surface of the world.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Map generation algorithm]]<br /> * [[Symbol]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map Map] @ Wikipedia<br /> <br /> [[Category:Maps]]<br /> [[Category:Science]]</div>
