Very little research in the fild of cartography related to the historical account of the teritory of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been done. However, recently more and more attention is paid to this topic. The article was created on the basis of an independent long-term research by the author, and was motivated by the lack of literature in this field. Teherefore, this text will give a brief overview of the development of cartography until 1992, when the war in Bosnia and Herzegovin begun. It will also show the historical timeline of representing the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina on maps.
