The colonial powers used maps like a weapon in conquering various countries of the world.
They used to send various explorers to gather information on the region, which were planned to be conquered, to prepare maps.
Then by fixing land use and natural resource planning, they used to invade those countries.
Thus, literally maps were more useful to them than weapons.
