Geographic Logic In Line Generalization
The logical problems faced by a geographer who generalizes linear symbols on a map are the same whether traditional or computer methods are used. One must recognize that there are a great many lines on the earth's surface, some of which were created by natural processes while others result from the economic, political or social activities of man. Geographic logic requires that these earth lines, when plotted on a map, should be recognizable repre…

Lines, Computers, and Human Frailties∗
Geographers and cartographers, in their rush to implement computer cartographic systems, have tended to overlook problems of human error. Psychological, physiological, and logical errors seriously affect representations of naturally occurring lines such as rivers and coasts. Attempts must be made to understand and eliminate or reduce such errors because the man-machine interface will continue in the foreseeable future

Error on Choroplethic Maps
Communication, whether oral, written, or graphic depends upon the ability of one individual to transfer information to another. In this essay we have tried to illustrate the fact that error in choroplethic mapping inhibits the transfer of information and that there are methods for improving this type of map as a communicative tool. We have done this by first defining overview, tabular, and boundary map uses. Second, techniques for the measurement…
A Three-Dimensional Bathyorographic Map of Canton Island
r | aECHNIQUES of scientific investigation and communication developed in one discipline often find their way into the methodology of other fields. Such is the case of three-dimensional (3-D) maps, which were developed by geographers and geologists to display terrain features. This technique has been adopted by authors presenting such diverse subject matter as population density, the friction of distance in gravity models, land values in urban ce…
Geometric properties of market areas
A Graphic Interpretation of the Friction of Distance in Gravity Models
The portrayal of complex surfaces stemming from the gravity model in three-dimensional format can greatly facilitate an understanding of spatial behavior. Not only can the geometric properties of the gravity model be understood more readily, but such a portrayal is extremely valuable in the conduct of actual experiments

An Improved Curriculum for Cartographic Training at the College and University Level
ORLD War II and unsettled postwar conditions have wrought revolutionary changes in mapping activities. An increasing number and variety of maps are now being produced for service men and civilians. New uses for existing maps are being found and rapid technological advances necessitate the development of new and unique types of maps.. The demand for more and greater variety in maps has brought about an expansion of established map-making facilitie…
