Abstract: The project is aimed at upgrading existing and outdated maps from the time when the present-day area of the Diocese of Požega in Croatia was under the Archdiocese of Zagreb. We could not find a single map of the Diocese of Požega since its establishment in 1997. That is why in 2001 we began to create one at the Faculty of Geodesy. It has been developed in stages and this work is still ongoing. The paper describes how the new map was created, it explains its purpose and the motivation behind the idea to create the first map of this diocese, and mentions obstacles that had to be dealt with during the research of certain specific thematic content. It also describes several working versions of the map. The project on which the paper is based is unique because it investigates sacral topics and facilities which have not yet been identified or depicted cartographically. The authors have successfully created a map which is built around sacral themes and emphasized cartographic details relating to this diocese. The procedure, though complicated due to the lack of available data, entailed collection and analysis of commonplace data and depicts authors' exposure to the difficulties of making and designing map.
