Power of MapsPower of Maps
• Maps gain their value in three Maps gain their value in three ways: ways:
– As a way of recording and As a way of recording and storing information storing information
– As a means of analyzing As a means of analyzing locational distributions and locational distributions and spatial patterns spatial patterns
– As a method of presenting As a method of presenting information and information and communicating findings communicating findings
