In geological field, maps which were generated from data whom researchers had collected which then would be portrayed onto a basic map -which in general gives information about Earth’s reliefs interpretation- and then described on a flat plane, called geological map. Geological maps give informations about geological conditions on particular area which includes rocks units and its structures. From geological map, we can obtain type of rocks, thickness, lithologies bearings ([[strike]] and [[dip]]s), faults, folds, [[fracture]]s, or many processes have had occured on earlier time.

William Smith (1769), a British engineer known as a pioneer of stratigraphy, createda very useful geology maps and illustrated the distribution of rocks on a topographic map.

[[W:William_Smith_(geologist) | William Smith (1769)]], a British engineer known as a pioneer of stratigraphy, created a very useful geology maps and illustrated the distribution of rocks on a topographic map.

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