More General Map Information and History

The Cayman Islands were colonized by the British via Jamaica in 1875. The Cayman Island map consists of the Cayman Islands area map, with Grand Cayman approximately 500 miles due south of Miami. We have maps of all three Cayman Islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

The Cayman Islands consist of three islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The Cayman Islands are located approximately 180 miles northwest of Jamaica. The Cayman Islands were of a Jamaican territory until 1959, when the Cayman Islands became a unit territory within the Federation of the West Indies. In 1962, the Cayman Islands became a British dependency, and a new constitution approved in 1972 provided for a greater degree of autonomy. Tourism and finance are the Cayman Islands' major industries.

Maps are a universal medium for communication, easily understood and appreciated by most people, regardless of language or culture. Incorporated in a map is the understanding that it is a "snapshot" of an idea, a single picture, a selection of concepts from a constantly changing database of geographic information (Merriam 1996). Old maps provide much information about what was known in times past, as well as the philosophy and cultural basis of the map, which were often much different from modern cartography. Maps are one means by which scientists distribute their ideas and pass them on to future generations (Merriam 1996). Early Maps Cartography is the art and science of making maps. The oldest known maps are preserved on Babylonian clay tablets from about 2300 B.C. Cartography was considerably advanced in ancient Greece. The concept of a spherical Earth was well known among Greek philosophers by the time of Aristotle (ca. 350 B.C.) and has been accepted by all geographers since. Greek and Roman cartography reached a culmination with Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy, about A.D. 85-165). His "world map" depicted the Old World from about 60°N to 30°S latitudes. He wrote a monumental work, Guide to Geography (Geographike hyphygesis), which remained an authorative reference on world geography until the Renaissance.
