is not clear if and when these were used in
map making
In the Mughal times Indian map makers
were introduced to the methods of Central
Asian
map
makers and an atlas was prepared
in Jaunpur in the seventeenth century by
Sadiq Isfahani. He used latitudes and
longitudes to determine location of places
in his maps. By the end of the Mughal
period when the British began mapping
India, we learn of a wide variety of maps in
use. Unfortunately most of these maps are
lost and only a few have survived.
Maps have a long history behind them.
Some of the earliest surviving maps were
made by Sumerians (present day Iraq) about
it. We have given below one of the maps
drawn on a clay tablet about 2600 years ago.
They imagined the world as a round disc.
The inner circle had all the cities (the small
circles), villages, rivers, marshes and
mountains they knew about. The city of
Babylon was shown in the middle. Beyond
the inner circle was bitter river or salt
water ocean in which there were seven

Around the same time, Greek
geographers like Anaximander and
Hecataeus of Miletus (now in Turkey) and
Herodotus also prepared world maps by
arranging places from east to west and north

four thousand years ago. These were
imprinted on clay tablets. The Sumerian
temples owned large tracts of land and they
had to keep an account of income from the
lands. That is why they tried to keep records
of the lands with the help of maps.
Babylonians (also the people of present
day Iraq) made some of the earliest 'world
maps'; that is the world as they thought of
