Cartography is cool. Where would we be without it as a species? I, personally, wouldn't know that my country looks like a tiny Africa and would get lost driving in any new city that I visit. We can also learn tons of cool stuff from maps, like in which countries it's illegal to dance on a bar.
If you like learning new random facts and are partial to geography, you'll probably love Fan Maps. It's an Instagram page that features cool, interesting maps that let you learn something new with each different one. Eager to get some knowledge? Scroll down and check them out!
To know more about mapmaking magic, we reached out to Daniel P. Huffman, a cartographer and a mapping educator. He told us more about what the day of a cartographer is like, what misconceptions people have about his job, and what's the secret to making interesting and creative maps.
