ABSTRACT

Maps are an important tool for the development planning of a nation and it is necessary to study the development of mapping with a view to evaluating the extent to which it has been geared towards the satisfaction of the requirements of national development planners and various other users. Official mapping was started in Nigeria by colonial administrators in the first decade of the 20th century eventhough several maps of Nigeria had been drawn by explorers, navigators, scientists and travellers, including Nigerians before the advent of colonial administration. The mapping done by British explorers and scientists prepared the way for the colonisation of Nigeria, having exposed the various attributes and the nature of the country.
