In this literature review study, we sought to explore the frontiers between the production of healthcare knowledge, qualitative research and cartography. We started with a brief retrospective look at the historical construction of qualitative research in general, followed by presentation of cartographic investigation as a possible method for qualitative healthcare research. After presenting the conceptual basis of this method for knowledge production, we identified its potential and challenges with regard to developing research within the field of public health.
