Yes, if you put the History aside, not admitting the constant reinventions and recuperations. Three century ago the best maps were made by the military for their own purposes.
Nowadays, more and more people can make that.
Fearing a country ill-mapped (Western mode mapped) is more a stage before catching and customizing the technics.
In a broader sense, one can hear a familiar music : Western World civilization is haram.
