(Definition) 'Cartifact' : term used to describe objects using a cartographic motiff primarily for design rather than to convey information. An ashtray with a map of the London Underground would be an example: you might use it to get around, but the main purpose of the object is to hold ashes. The term is a portmanteau combining "cartographic" and "artifact." Technically, any map is a cartographic artifact, but the portmanteau term is used for those objects with maps as design. - Definition in context Via
