Bedolina Map

Prehistoric and Rock Art

The Bedolina Map is an engraved prehistoric rock forming part of the Camonica Valley petroglyph complex in Italy, regarded as one of the oldest known topographic maps and interpreted as a depiction of cultivated plots, mountain paths and villages. The engraving covers a flat surface of Permian sandstone, 9 metres long and 4 metres wide, polished by Pleistocene glaciers, within the Seradina-Bedolina Archaeological Park.
