A specialized historical or architectural record that documents the layout and features of a particular place or region.
From Greek 'choros' (place/region) and 'graphia' (writing/description). The term combines geographic and descriptive documentation used in ancient historical writings about specific locations.
Before maps and Google Earth, scholars wrote 'chorogi'—detailed written descriptions and diagrams of specific places that modern historians still use to understand ancient cities and their layouts!
