I roughly know how world maps were created, but detailed local maps of towns and forest’s are something I find interesting. What methods were used to scale down in world, to paper distances?

      Okay i understand what you mean, when I said that I meant it in a way, their question isnt broad in a negative way, it’s broad in a very normal question type of way, so you can’t blame him for asking a normal question, it may be broad to an expert, but if he was an expert he would be answering, not asking.

        It’s not about “blame”. Such thinking is unnecessarily adversarial.

        The point is that the question as it was asked is not really answerable in this format, because it is too broad and the answer is complicated.
