Scribing (cartography)

Scribing in the context of cartography refers to the process of creating maps or drawing them by hand, often with a focus on precision and detail. This traditional method of map-making involves the use of tools like compasses, rulers, and writing instruments to produce accurate representations of geographical areas. In more modern contexts, scribing can also refer to the digital process of creating maps using software, but the term itself is rooted in the hand-drawn techniques of early cartography.
