The existence and development of geography as a science, as well as the geography training are inconceivable without a geographical map. Geographic maps serve as models of the studied territories, processes and phenomena, which makes them an indispensable tool for exploring and studying the surrounding world. The development of cartography today reaches such a level that geographical maps can depict not only the spatial relationships between objects and phenomena located on the earth's surface, but also their most important qualitative and quantitative features. All this makes the map a basic and specific source of information, the main didactic tool and resource in geography training. In addition, it is a specific goal of training, because here the study of its nature, features and purpose takes place. The significance of the geographical map for the geography training is well developed in the geography didactics, which is why we will not dwell on it here. In the present study we emphasize that the formation of a system of cartographic concepts, including the formation of skills to operate with them, has a very significant contribution to the quality of acquired knowledge, the education of students, the development of their cognitive abilities. Emphasizing the specific role of the system of cartographic concepts for the formation of the geographical culture of students, here we present and analyze the design of the system in the normative documentation of geographical education in Bulgaria. The improvement of the system of cartographic concepts, in our opinion, should be done both in terms of its development in the vertical direction (mathematical basis, conditionality of the map - cartographic methods) and in terms of more sustainable and precise development of the content of concepts, regulation and the systematic development of skills in working with maps and cartographic images.
