A Geodesic Map Projection for Quadrilaterals
Read preview
Introduction Buckminster Fuller's map projections are based upon intersections of geodesics (great circle arcs) that connect a point on one edge of a spherical figure to a point on another edge and pass through the point being projected. The best...
Dotting the Dot Map, Revisited
Read preview
Introduction Cartographers make dot maps to show details in the spatial variation of geographic phenomena such as human populations or agricultural crops. Dot maps show the geographic distribution of a phenomenon by placing dots representing a certain...
