I am overhauling this page, so be patient with it for a few days. Bplewe (talk) 17:42, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have completed my pass through this page, adding a lot of text and illustrative maps that show a number of the terms in the text. The sources could be improved--too many textbooks--but unlike several related aspects of cartography, I could not find a good review article that coalesces experimental research into a consistent conceptual framework and/or set of design guidelines. I would suggest finding more individual research articles that lead to specific design guidelines, but even they are few and far between. Bplewe (talk) 16:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
