Abstract:

This report is directed toward the designers and users of maps. Its purpose is to facilitate innovation in these functions by 1 establishing a psychological model of the mapping process, 2 presenting outstanding examples of map designs, and 3 considering implications of computer technology for the production of new and improved maps. Each of these topics forms a separate chapter. The chapter on map examples contains about 160 modern and historical maps, illustrated and briefly described.
