mappers
Those drawing territories
Mappers are people or programs that create maps or establish correspondences between data sets.
In software, a mapper transforms data from one format to another: The JSON mapper converts API responses to database records.
In gaming communities, mappers design custom levels or environments: The mapper spent months creating that arena.
Cartographic mappers survey and chart terrain.
