The invention discloses a map and digit separable charting method and system. The method comprises the following steps that A) a map basic element model is established, and the basic element model isused to make complex and diversified symbols to establish a map symbol system; B) spatial position mapping between map symbols and geographical objects is established to realize linkage between the map symbols and the geographical objects; C) the map is separated from the digit, and on the basis that symbol data is abandoned, the entity generation and topology processing of the geographical data itself are focused on; and D) the map is integrated with the digit, and symbol data is combined with space entity data including point, line and plane, and a digital map is produced by processing essential factor conflict of the map and symbolizing maps. Thus, logic segmentation of the symbol system, map data and space data is managed, the symbol system, map data and space data are associated via positional coordinates of the geographic space, thus, the essential geographic factors can be managed conveniently, and symbolized configuration of the map data can be realized rapidly and flexibly.
