	*On the ''Halo 3'' level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] refers to the map on the Ark as "The Cartographer", but it is stated in The Silent Cartographer that it is the name that the Covenant uses for the map. Either the Covenant used the proper name for the map, or Guilty Spark said it as a courtesy to the Master Chief.		*On the ''Halo 3'' level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] refers to the map on the Ark as "The Cartographer", but it is stated in The Silent Cartographer that it is the name that the Covenant uses for the map.

	*The interior details and layout of the Cartographer on Installation 04 is almost completely identical to that of the Ark's Cartographer complex, though it is almost impossible to notice, due to the differences in textures, scenery, and atmosphere that were made to the structures to make them appear unique. In addition, practically the entire length from the first staircase to the main chamber of the Ark's Cartographer complex is a complete remake of Installation 04's Cartographer (with the exception of the added room for the [[Terminal]])		*The interior details and layout of the Cartographer on Installation 04 is almost completely identical to that of the Ark's Cartographer complex, though it is almost impossible to notice, due to the differences in textures, scenery, and atmosphere that were made to the structures to make them appear unique.

-	*The exterior appearance of the Installation 04 Cartographer was used for the design of the Ark's Cartographer. But, to differentiate the location of the Cartographer on the Ark with the one of Installation 04, the design of the main chamber in the one on Installation 04 is located almost directly underneath the ground of the deck entrance outside of the structure. However, the design of the Installation 04 Cartographer entrance was reused for the design of the Ark's Cartographer chamber. In addition, to make the similarities obscured, the platform holding the main chamber is surrounded by waterfalls.	+	*The exterior appearance of the Installation 04's Cartographer was used for the design of the Ark's Cartographer.

	*The rock formation where the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Dawn]] lands in the end of ''Halo 3'' greatly resembles the Cartographer Island. However, this is likely just an homage, since the Control Room is very close to this hill.		*The rock formation where the [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Dawn]] lands in the end of ''Halo 3'' greatly resembles the Cartographer Island.

	*The Silent Cartographer is oddly named because a cartographer is someone who makes maps, not a map itself. This may imply that the Silent Cartographer is more than just a building; possibly an old [[Forerunner]] computer.		*The Silent Cartographer is oddly named because a cartographer is someone who makes maps, not a map itself.
