Lauded for its accessibility and beautiful design, this text has
given thousands of students and professionals the tools to create
effective, compelling maps. Using a wealth of illustrations--with
74 in full color--to elucidate each concisely presented point, the
revised and updated third edition continues to emphasize how design
choices relate to the reasons for making a map and its intended
purpose. All components of map making are covered: titles, labels,
legends, visual hierarchy, font selection, how to turn phenomena
into visual data, data organization, symbolization, and more.

good design/poor design map examples, end-of-chapter suggestions
for further reading, and an annotated map examplar that runs
throughout the book. New to This Edition *Expanded coverage of
using mobile digital devices to collect data for maps, including

symbols have changed over time, designing maps on desktop computers
