Morphology
cartographically = cartographic (semi-transparent) = carto + graph + ic + ally
The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'cartographic' with -ally, so the meaning is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Cartographically comes from parts that mean 'map' and 'to write or draw'. The carto- part is like chart, which is a simple map, and the -graph part is like graph, meaning 'to write' or 'to draw'. So, if something is described cartographically, it is shown 'in the way of a map' or is about map-making.
