Imagine drawing a picture of your backyard to show someone how to find your house. That's like what ancient people did with maps, they drew pictures of the world so others could follow their path and discover new places. These simple drawings helped explorers sail across oceans, and even changed the way people thought about faraway lands.
Examples
