The Department of Cartography is one of the leading scientific, pedagogical and research centers in the country in the field of cartography. At the department there is a museum "Atlas Cartography", which has a fund of long-term cartographic works, about 100 titles, organized by a research team led by prof. T.Mirzaliyev. At present, these scientific works are stored at the department headed by E.Y.Safarov. The department is recognized as the leading scientific school of geographical cartography in the country, its purpose is to study and develop scientific and practical issues of cartography based on cartographic research methods.

The Department of Cartography is one of the largest departments of the university and faculty. Currently, the department has full-time, part-time and evening forms of undergraduate studies in the specialty "60722500 - Geodesy, cartography and cadastre". Students can continue their studies in the magistracy in the specialty "70722502-Geodesy and Cartography" and in the basic doctoral studies "11.00.06 - Geodesy. Cartography".

Teaching disciplines in specialties is carried out by highly qualified professors and invited representatives of industry enterprises. Lessons are based on computer technology and advanced pedagogical methods.

History of the department. The department was founded in 1921 by professor N.I.Lebedensky. From 1921 to 1945, the department was part of various faculties. After the creation of the Faculty of Geography in 1945, the Department of Geodesy and Cartography taught the basics of topography, geodesy and cartography in various specialties.

In 1947, to meet the needs of the Central Asian republics in the field of cartography, the specialty "Geographer-Cartographer" was opened, for which 17 students were admitted.

In 1948, after the death of prof. N.I. Lebedensky, the department was headed by senior lecturer F.L.Tropkin, prof. I.G.Krasovsky, senior lecturer I.G.Chernyak, associate professor Ch.V.Galkov, prof. T.M.Mirzaliyev, associate professors Y.G.Brodsky, P.Y.Butenko, L.Kh.Gulomova, A.Egamberdiev, Kh.Mubarakov. Currently, the department is headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, prof. E.Y.Safarov.

Currently, the department employs 1 doctor of sciences, professor, 3 candidates of sciences, associate professors, 2 senior teachers, 6 teachers who teach students the discipline in their specialty.

Disciplines taught at the department for bachelor's and master's degrees.
