Depends on which kind of map you're talking about. Highway and topographical maps are made by cartographers. One of the most famous of these was Robert Knox Snedden, a Union Army cartographer during the American Civil War.

b. the suffix graph means to draw and the prefix carto means map (or something similar) hence a fancy name for map is cartograph.
