This pivotal figure in geography concluded that with the aid of astronomy and mathematics the earth could be mapped very accurately.
		Cartographers also borrowed native names, sometimes by transliterating the written form into the Latin alphabet, but most often by transcribing the sound, or attempting to do so.
		Cartographic symbology has been developed in an effort to portray the world accurately and effectively convey information to the map reader.

	Petro Maps Master List
		A master list of petroleum road map issues would be a worthy counterpart to the OMML and is desired by collectors and historians who focus on this genre of map.
		For the purposes of this master list, a map is considered to be a petroleum-issued map or atlas if it was issued by a firm involved in the retail sale of petroleum-based fuels for motor vehicle highway transport.
		Since later project stages might include more detailed listings of map cover designs and even individual map issues, it is desirable from the outset to make these distinctions by country even when multiple map-issuing companies exist as siblings within a single corporate family and share a common brand name.

	Cartography
		Current trends in this field are moving away from analog methods of mapmaking and toward the creation of increasingly dynamic, interoperable maps that can be manipulated digitally.
		The cartographic process rests on the premise that there is there is an objective reality and that we can make reliable representations of that reality by adding levels of abstraction.
		Specifically computer hardware devices such as computer screens, plotters, printers, scanners (remote and document) and analytic stereo plotters along with visualization, image processing, spatial analysis and database software, have democratized and greatly expanded the making of maps.

	List of cartographers Summary
		The next step is to map all the details of the land, such as rivers and roads, between the accurately fixed points in the network.
		After measuring a baseline distance between two points, the cartographer measures the angles between the two points at the end of the baseline, and then measures a third point with electronic instruments that record how long it takes light or radio waves to travel between two points.
		In addition to measuring the details of the land, cartographers also measure the heights of many points in the area that they are mapping.

		The cartographer of the new 7.5 min maps seems to have shifted the summit location of Mt Powell and Mt Emerson but the SPS (and the USGS's GNIS database) continues to recognize the nearby older and higher location.

		Tables have been re-formatted and several peak names have been corrected where the SPS list is in error, but this data should be in general agreement with the 247 peaks on the 18th Edition of the SPS Peaks List.
