The Cartographers Range is a rugged mountain range 40 km in length in the Victory Mountains of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It is bounded to the north by the Pearl Harbor Glacier , to the east by the Tucker Glacier and to the south by the Hearfield and Trafalgar Glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of geodetic surveys and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1969 after the cartographers ( English cartographers ) and cartography technicians of the survey who were involved in the creation of the map to Antarctica were involved.
