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.
