Cartography is defined by the dictionary as: the science or practice of drawing maps. Cartography is defined by the Canadian Cartography Association as: the discipline dealing with the conception, production, dissemination and study of maps. But cartography is so much more than that. It is an academic discipline in its own right. It has its own professional associations, journals, educational programs, conferences, and its own identity. Cartography is a community, a group of people who create maps, and distribute maps. Cartography is a job, a class, a hobby, or an art.
