Imagine you're a kid who’s never left your town. The first maps were like magic pictures that showed where the mountains, rivers, and other people lived, it made the whole world feel smaller and more interesting. Before maps, people had to rely on stories or directions from others. But with the first maps, they could see their world as a big picture instead of just small pieces.
