2. what is cartogra- the art, science, and technology of maps together with their study as scientific
phy? documents and works of art
3. things to keep in audience
mind when map what data is required - keep it simple
making how will it be displayed
4. 2 types of maps general reference map - contain large amount of spatial info, many themes,
emphasis on clearly displaying large amount of data, spatial "dictionaries"
ex: topo map, road map
thematic maps - smaller amount of info, the minimum, info carefully selected
to
1) tell a story
2) emphasize a point
3) illustrate spatial relationships
equivalent of expository writing
ex: bird migration, habitat range, trail maps, ecoregion maps
5. thematic map pro- frame the question the map is to address
duction process understand the data
choose a display or analytical method
examine the results
reiterate if necessary
6. key map compo- title
