Anaximander of Miletus was the first ancient Greek to draw a map of the known world. 1434 A.D. was made.
The first weather map was drawn by Sir Francis Galton in 1861. His weather map showed isobars, lines of equal pressure, which revolutionized the understanding of weather patterns.
his map was made in 1482. and used by cristpher colombus.
Anixmander from Greece is credited with making the first world map in 6th century B.C. he based it off of a cylindrical shape. But the first map ever made (non-world map) was in 4,000 B.C. which was made in Egypt out of clay and baked.
Captain John Smith did the first rough map of the bay and its shores. Then, Augustine Herman, a Bohemian explorer, merchant, and cartographer, did the first accurate map of the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River regions.
Anaximander, a Greek philosopher from Miletus who lived during the first half of the 6th century B.C., is credited with making the first map of the known world around 540 B.C. He also invented a type of sun dial. The Chinese were the very first in the world to make a world map. From memory the year was 1421 when many Chinese vessels left China to sail all around the world- even to the Arctic, and Antarctic. All Europeans and other explorers used Chinese maps when available to find their way around the world. Of course there were always unknown or unexplored areas and it was also the world as they knew or believed it to be. Mercator also made a map of the world. Satellites do the job today with almost instant updating and corrections.

Unless you drew the map at full scale (real world size) all maps use a scaling factor of area of the real world to an area of the map. For example, on a 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.
