A map is like a picture of the world that helps you find your way. Long ago, people used simple drawings to show where they were and where they needed to go. One of the first maps was made by an ancient person named Anaximander. He drew the Earth as a circle with water around it, like a floating island. It wasn’t perfect, but it helped people understand their world better.
Examples
