It does this by means of narrative text and a variety of sample maps which indicate common cartographic problems and their solutions. Information on graphics and presentations is also included. in AUTHOR’S NOTE I would like to thank my colleagues at the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona for the great variety of maps made available to me over the past decade - only a few of which are used here. All of the maps discussed in this publication were actually published, presented in lectures, or used in displays and exhibits. I would also like to acknowledge Mr. Larry Taddia, former chief of the cartography unit at the BLM Arizona State Office (and now retired). Larry was one of the true professionals in cartography, combining expert draftsmanship and extensive knowledge of the field with common sense leadership. If his expertise had been followed, a much better quality of map would have been produced than is apparent in this document. v f- s
