This review discusses the problem of reconstruction of surface magnetic field topologies of early-type stars with a focus on mapping methods utilising information content of high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations. Basic principles of the Zeeman Doppler imaging tomographic mapping technique are outlined and its recent applications to magnetic early-type stars are summarised. The current observational and modelling challenges faced by the studies of surface magnetic fields in these stars are also discussed.
