   That said, world maps, or rather planetarymaps, remain a frequently seen form of science fiction mapping. Planetary maps are by no means ubiquitous or obligatory in sf: there are plenty of sf novels set on another planet that do not bother to map the planet, and there are plenty of novels where a map might have helped. Where they do appear, they ca...
