Reflections on Networks and the History of
Cartography, cartographic cogitator Mark Monmonier shares
his insights about the relationships between networks and
maps. Using historical maps, he explores: Triangulation
networks that established the baselines to set a map’s scale
Astronomical observations, ellipsoids, geodetic arcs, telegraph
networks, and GPS constellations that put latitude and
longitude on the map Cartographic symbols that portray a
diverse range of network features Survey networks used to
situate and construct canals, railways, roads, and power lines
Postal and electronic networks that created and disseminated
weather maps, and Topological networks that underlie modern
census enumeration and satellite navigation systems.
Connecting the past to the present via maps and reflection,
Monmonier continues his contribution to cartographic
scholarship by exploring the network's power as a unifying
concept for understanding and using maps. em em
