Snow used epidemiological and statistical methods to identify the water pump in a district of London that was the source of cholera germs that had caused an outbreak of the disease. In doing this he helped to lead the way in applying similar approaches, even before the germ theory of disease had been developed. Please see the link.

How did drawing a map help Dr John Snow save lives?

Dr. John Snow created a detailed map plotting the locations of cholera cases during the outbreak in London in 1854. By visually correlating the cases with the locations of water sources, he identified a strong link between contaminated water from the Broad Street pump and the spread of the disease. This evidence led him to advocate for the removal of the pump handle, effectively stopping the outbreak and saving numerous lives. His innovative use of mapping laid the groundwork for modern epidemiology.
