The idea of making original map of rocks distribution was coined in 1684 by [[w:Martin Lister | Martin Lister (1639-1712)]]. Lister stated that the distribution of different types of British landscape could be accurately represented on topographic maps.

  The Soil might either be coloured, by variety of Lines, or Etchings; but the great care must be, very exactly to note upon the Map

Which Lister concluded that the soil types mapping can also maps the distribution of rocks in the subsurface. Yet, the next important stage from Lister is not continued.

Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli (1658-1730) created topographic maps for military use of the visited countries (Italy, France, Germany, the Balkans, and Turkey). Marsigli published a mining district map in Hungary and sketched the distribution of sulfur near his hometown, Bologna (1717). Probably, the first geological map drawn by an anonymous naval cartographer in 1757 where in the Heligoland islands he added boundaries of four different types of rocks.<ref>Franceschelli, C. &Marabini, S. 2006: Luigi Ferdinando Marsili (1658-1730): A Pioneer In Geomorphological And Archaeological Surveying.
