Yes they do
Cartographers use a projection method to show the round Earth on a flat surface. Different types of map projections, such as Mercator or Robinson, are used to represent the Earth's curved surface in two dimensions while minimizing distortion of shape, area, distance, or direction.
A small flat copy of the Earth is called a map. It is a representation of the Earth's surface, showing geographical features and locations in a scaled-down form.
