Long ago, people didn’t have phones or GPS, they had maps. The first maps were like stories drawn on clay or stone. They showed places and directions, which helped people travel and trade. Imagine a map that looks more like a picture than a grid of lines, that’s how it started!
Examples
- First maps looked like pictures, they showed rivers as wavy lines and cities as circles.
- People used first maps to find their way across the desert when trading goods.
- A first map might have had a picture of a mountain, which helped travelers know where to stop.
