Map Design
Nothing is more commonplace or easier than making maps.
Nothing is as difficult as making them fairly good. A good
geographer is all the more rare for needing nature and art to be
united in his training.

whAt Is mAP desIgn And why does It mAtteR?
When we speak of map design there are two meanings: layout of design elements and
planning the map. Layout involves decisions such as “Where should I place the title,
where should the legend and scale go?”; in art, this is called composition. Design
in the sense of planning begins before a single line is drawn and includes deciding
what information will be included and choosing a projection, the scale, and the type
of symbols. It is at the heart of the map creation process. In this chapter we look at
both aspects of design. The remainder of the book will assist you in making design
decisions.
Map users form their spatial concepts of a place, in large part, from maps,
whether it is a neighborhood, a region, the world, or the universe; maps are used
in decision making, as we saw in Chapter 1. The information presented on a map
can have far-reaching consequences, a reality that places heavy responsibility on the
mapmaker. Objective mapmakers are obligated to make maps as clear and truthful
as possible.
At the same time there is considerable leeway for creativity in new approaches
and techniques. Otherwise there would be no changes in map design. New technol-
ogy, whether the rise of lithographic printing in the 19th century (invented 1796)
or the use of computers in the 20th introduced changes in designs and symbols on
maps.
Design is a holistic process; language is a linear process. Although I can identify

certain steps that must be taken in mapmaking, they are not necessarily followed in a
specific order, and, in fact, several may be taken simultaneously. However, I cannot,
in a book, consider all aspects of design at once, but must break them into steps.
