cartography

Consider mapsf

There are no plans for new features or enhancements in cartography.
Basic maintenance and support will continue indefinitely.
Existing projects that use cartography can safely continue to use cartography.
The mapsf R package is the successor of cartography and it is friendlier, lighter and more robust.
See mapsf website to migrate from cartography to mapsf.
