Re-Defining the Role of Government in Surveys and Mapping / a View of Events in the United Kingdom
The present state of surveying and mapping within the private sector in the United Kingdom is considered briefly. Attention is then turned to two of the British official mapping organizations for which the roots of recent or impending changes are shown to lie in the early years of the 1970s. Factors are discussed which may influence current thinking on the role of government. Three significant thrusts of the Ordnance Survey Review Committee's Rep…

The Surveying and Mapping of British East Africa 1890–1946
Photo Map of the Gould Lake Conservation Area
A photo map project in the Cartographic Laboratory, Queen's University is described. Its basic simplicity masks the thoroughness with which it covers many aspects of cartographic design, compilation, drafting, and reproduction. As such, it provides an excellent but compact vehicle for involving students of cartography in the breadth of the discipline
The User’s Influence in Specific Design Problems
The development of a design for a new map of the Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta was preceded by a survey of a sample of visitors to the park. A questionnaire which focused upon the activities and map needs of the visitor was employed in 673 interviews. Concurrently, significant knowledge concerning the environment in which the park is situated was identified and collected. The results of these investigations were integrated and have enable…
Survey Methods on the Use of Maps and Atlases
Mapping organizations must know whether or not the maps they produce are answering their clients' more important needs. Commercial map producers can judge this from their sales, but government mapping agencies, who of course have a natural monopoly, can obtain more accurate information by employing user surveys. In this paper the authors comment in general on these surveys, and describe two in detail—one in Jamaica, the other in Great Britain. So…
United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Tourist Maps at One-Inch Scale
Within recent years the Ordnance Survey has published a number of sheets for tourist purposes covering areas of special interest in the United Kingdom. The maps are compiled from standard one-inch sheets but have been re-designed to show features of particular interest to walkers, climbers, skiers and others. The writer details the principal characteristics of these maps and discusses their format, the representation of relief, vegetation, settle…
The Representation of Vegetation on Topographic Maps
Although some aspect of vegetation is frequently included in both topographic and small-scale maps, the nature of what is being shown is rarely examined critically. A member of the Department of Geography, Queen's University, Ontario, draws attention to the problems of both content and presentation
