Cartography of the United States
(重定向自US map)
Maps of the New World had been produced since the 16th century. The history of cartography of the United States of America begins in the 18th century, after the declared independence of the Thirteen original colonies on July 4, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Later, Samuel Augustus Mitchell published a map of the United States in 1867. The National Program for Topographic Mapping was initiated in 1884 by the United States Geological Survey.
