The theoretical part describes rules, concepts and methods of the thematic cartography, followed by a research of printed historical atlases, which served as an inspiration for the author. The last section of the theoretical part deals with the introduction to the Battle of Königgrätz itself. In the practical part, an appropriate methodological creation process is proposed based on the acquired knowledge.
