ABSTRACT The Coatzacoalcos River is one of the most important rivers in Mexico. The oldest map of this river was drawn by Francisco Gali in 1580. Unlike most maps made in New Spain in the last quarter of the sixteenth century, this map is purely European in style and is somewhat reminiscent of a nautical chart. Analysis of the map suggests that it was made hastily. Both the errors in the distances

They are often used in PhD dissertations to show the location of a study area or to present scientific results. These maps have to tell their story without the PhD candidate being present. We searched for maps in 575 PhD dissertations, and reviewed 192 maps in 65 of these: 38% were created

ABSTRACT Historical maps are popular reference tools for historical, archaeological and temporal analysis, and there has recently been an increase in their use. However, for various reasons, the planimetric accuracy of maps produced before the nineteenth century is usually considered to be lower than today. In this paper, a new method for assessing maps is proposed, using a series of processes, such

Decoupling Slope and Aspect Vectors to Generalize Relief Shading The Cartographic Journal (IF 1.366) Pub Date : 2022-03-11 Patrick J. Kennelly
ABSTRACT Relief shading is designed to vary the brightness of terrain elements on a two-dimensional map to create a three-dimensional effect. One concern is how this layer can be generalized for use in multi-scale mapping. We propose a methodology that calculates relief shading from slope and aspect vectors, as these layers allow map users to recognize characteristics of the terrain and show consistent
