Only an idiot would not know that the art or craft of creating maps is called cartography. Incidetally, a preserved Babylon clay tablet is the oldest noted tablet in the world. The culmination of Roman and Greek cartography was during the period of Claudious Ptolemaeus. Ptolemy is well regarded for his world map, which featured the Old World latitudes.
