At first glance what we are about to link you to doesn't seem very maritime in character. But we consider cartography very much a nautical professional endeavor. Henry the Navigator turned it into a science. It occupies a great deal of the effort of the NOAA Corps, a uniformed naval service we have introduced you to on occasion. All mariners work with navigation charts, a form of map. We had a great deal of fun with this site and we learned a few things. So here is a link, we recommend spending a little time with this site. It may painlessly change your world view. Click on the link below:
