Abstract

This study aimed to represent the distribution maps population of the province of Najaf cartography, where he sought a researcher to hire information and data in the mapping of the high precision in drawing and design, as well as inference and update and analysis, which contains technology of (GIS) has great potential in spatial analysis and descriptive, as well as Show spatial variations of geographical phenomena on the one hand, and the spatial distribution of the other hand and the reasons Tbainehma, following my presentation and style analysis, which depend largely on the map to achieve process Plug cartography, they represent the main objective of the map maker. The research aims to prepare maps specialist dealing with the distribution of population of the province of Najaf from different aspects and highlight the feasibility analysis of these maps to give a complete picture and interdependent all manifestations of different geographical and describes spatial relationships exchanged between them and their impact on each other, using Visual Analysis and record up to achieve the highest value cognitive.
