In this seminal paper Eckert identified two types of maps: topographic maps, also called chorographic and survey, and their antithesis, which he termed 'geographically abstract' maps. Geographically abstract maps present, in cartographic form, the results of scientific induction and deduction which includes all general economic, commercial, statistical, ethnographic, population, and physical maps. Eckert also felt these abstract maps, owing to their nature, were usually drawn to small scale. Eckert used this basic classification to discuss the role of 'art' in cartography.
