Metrics, Geometries, Signs, and Language: Sources of Cartographic Miscommunication Between Native and Euro- American Cultures in North America
This essay is offered as a contribution to multicultural cartography. Intended to stimulate discussion, its significance is wider than the North American cross-cultural experience on which it is based. The structuring of space and the ordering of information on maps made in medieval Europe had much in common with those later found on maps being made by native North Americans. By the time of the first contacts, however, European maps were beginnin…
La Grande RiviRe Et Fleuve De L'Ouest/The Realities And Reasons Behind A Major Mistake In The 18th-Century Geography Of North America
This is a sequel to an earlier (1987) paper. Using archival and historical evidence, the previous paper traced the cartographic antecedents of the false 'La Grande Rivire et Fleuve de I'Ouest' as represented on 18th-century printed maps of western North America. This paper uses ethno-graphical and environmental evidence to establish and evaluate possible ground referents for three associated features which, as represented on the printed maps, wer…

Misinterpretation of Amerindian Information as a Source of Error on Euro-American Maps
From the earliest contact times until the recent past Euro-Americans solicited from Indians information about unexplored and superficially explored areas. The Indians almost always responded, communicating geographical information in a mixture of speech, gesture, and pictography. Pictographs, usually in the form of “maps,” were particularly important in influencing the structure and content of Euro-Americans’maps of their terrae incognitae. The c…

The milieu of geography within higher education in the United Kingdom in the 1980s

Changing National Perspectives And The Mapping Of The Great Lakes Between 1755 And 1795
Until the introduction of manned earth satellites in the early 1960s, no one had ever seen the Great Lakes in their entirety at a point in time, yet they had appeared on maps for more than 300 years. The author, examining the period from 1755 to 1795, discusses the cartographers' conceptualizations of the area as a form of remote sensing, notes their representations of the images received, and analyzes the relative accuracies of cartographic repr…

SINCE G. T.

J. M. Hooson's principle that the distribution of population is 'the essential geographical expression, thorough interpretation of which can…
