"Show me a
geographer who does not need them [maps] constantly and want them
about him, and I shall have my doubts as to whether he has made the
right choice in life."
Carl O. Sauer (1889-1975)
Welcome to
"Elements of Cartography"!
This course is an
introduction to the art, craft, and science of cartography. Modern
technology has changed cartography from a one-directional
information flow to a an interactive process. As geographers we
often rely on a map or map-like visualization for analysis and
communication. Thus, not only the basic principles behind map making
is of vital importance to us, but also how these relate to other
geographic information technologies.
Most of the material in this course will be found on
Carmen, OSU's Course Management System.
