Edmund Halley's 1730 map of the world is a historic map that was published in London by Edmund Halley, best known for his prediction of the return of the comet that now bears his name. The map is a large-scale map of the world on Mercator's projection, which was then the most widely used projection for world maps.

The map covers the entire globe, with the Americas on the left and the Eastern Hemisphere on the right. It is known for its detailed and accurate representation of the coastlines and its inclusion of various astronomical data such as magnetic declination and the locations of observatories. It was important for navigation, cartography and the study of the Earth.

Edmund Halley was an English astronomer and mathematician who is best known for his prediction of the return of the comet that now bears his name. However, he also made significant contributions to the field of cartography, or map-making.

Halley's chart of the world, also known as his "Terrestrial Globe," was a map of the world that was published in 1687. It was one of the first maps to use the method of "small circles," in which lines of longitude and latitude were represented by small circles rather than straight lines. This allowed for a more accurate representation of the curvature of the Earth's surface.

Halley's chart of the world was widely used and highly regarded for its accuracy in the 18th century. It was considered to be one of the best maps of the world at the time, and it influenced the development of cartography for many years.
