AB - This study shows that the first map of human history is Çatalhöyük map from Antolia, Turkey. Therefore, this study intends to swipe off controversy about the first map and identifies the geographical value and characteristics of the map. Found in the excavation procedure of prehistoric settlement, Çatalhöyük map turned out to be the first settlement planning map using bird’s-eye view. In the map, Mount Hasan(Hasan Dağı), located near the settlement, was described as leopard pattern.
