Produce cartography is the process of creating maps. It involves collecting data, analyzing it, and then representing it in a visual form. The term 'produce cartography' is derived from the Latin word 'producere, ' which means to bring forth or create. The most common type of MAP produced through this process is a topographic MAP, which shows the physical features of an area. Other types of maps that can be produced include political, geological, and hydrological maps. The three-letter acronym MAP is used to refer to this type of cartography.
