How to lie with maps

How to lie with maps
Economic geography ; Map ; Political geography ; Spatial representation
Provocative discussion (but without philosophical analysis) on the map making and map use as a form of deception. Maps are misused in real estate development, political propaganda, national defense. Data and color are sometimes purposely distorted
as elements of maps. - (DWG)

Choropleth mapping in secondary geography : an application for the study of Middle America

Choropleth mapping in secondary geography : an application for the study of Middle America
Cartography;Mapping ; Central America ; Choropleth map ; Mexico ; Secondary education ; Teaching of geography
The basic steps in constructing choropleth maps are followed by a discussion of how such maps might be used in a secondary school lesson using Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean as a case study. The A. argues that the value of making
these maps lies as much in the questions they raise as in the patterns they show.―(DWG)

Notes on recent large-scale urban maps in Japan

Notes on recent large-scale urban maps in Japan
Nowadays the Geographical Survey Institute is in Japan the most important organism for making scientific, systematic and accurate urban maps. To meet demands for much more detailed, updated town information, private companies publish urban maps
and atlases. They give a reminiscence of the urban picture maps designed as guide maps during the end of the Tokugawa feudal period (mid-nineteenth century). - (SGA)

of the development of the representation methods of thematic map making. - (AM)
The maps are classified into general geographical and thematic maps. The general geographical maps can be topographic or chorographic maps, which show objects that help orientation. The thematic maps are made with another objective: to represent
the spatial distribution of natural and social phenomena including their characteristics, structure and functions. This explains why the makers of thematic maps have always used various methods to visualize their topic. This paper gives an overview

Listening to the Tube Map : rythm and the historiography of urban map use

Listening to the Tube Map : rythm and the historiography of urban map use
The A. considers the challenge posed by the recent performative turn in critical cartography to the urban historical geographer. Building on T. Ingold's work, he suggests that one approach is to make an analogy between printed maps and musical
scores as decentred technologies. It is consolidated via a study of H. Beck's 1933 map of the London Underground.

Kartographische Grundlagenforschungen und daraus ableitbare Masszahlen bei Entscheidungen im Kartenentwurf. (The selection of coefficients in map-making made on the basis of specific reconstructable criteria)
First, the spatial distortions inherent in the map graticule of geographical maps are listed. The problems of size distortion, particularly when many maps follow one another in atlases, are then dealt with in the same way. Second, the question
of equal-area graticules in geographical maps is discussed, together with the possible limits of max. area distortion at a minimum of size distortion. Studies have shown that a 10 % area distortion in geographical maps is not perceived visually
