What were the historic intentions behind cartography? People who live in a landscape and are embedded in it usually do not need maps to orient themselves in their everyday lives. It is people who do not know a landscape (well) who rely on maps. In particular, people and institutions who control a region and want to exercise power (political, military, bureaucratic, etc.) are very interested in having a seemingly "objective" representation of the landscape.
