The concept of a map key, or legend, can be traced back to ancient times, but it became more standardized in the 16th century during the Age of Exploration. While there isn't a specific year pinpointed for its invention, the practice of using symbols and keys to explain maps gained prominence with the development of more detailed and thematic maps in that era.
