Cartography courses can help you learn map design, spatial analysis, data visualization, and geographic information systems (GIS). You can build skills in interpreting topographic features, understanding coordinate systems, and applying cartographic principles to create effective visual representations. Many courses introduce tools like ArcGIS and QGIS, that support analyzing geographic data and producing detailed maps that communicate information clearly.
