put on the map
Bring to prominence
To put something on the map is to make it known or famous.
A place that was previously obscure gains recognition: That restaurant review really put our little town on the map.
The phrase extends beyond geography to anything that achieves prominence: Her debut novel put her on the map as a serious writer.
