A long time ago, I classified geology maps.  I recommend using a
different cutter than just C5, because you may have or acquire both
surficial and bedrock geology maps for the same quad or area.  Some
version of C2 works.

Dennis,

I've worked with a lot of these types of maps over the years and my
feeling is that since they show the geology of the Earth's crust at its
"upper" or surface/surficial levels that they should be cuttered .C5

Hi All,

I have a bunch of surficial geologic maps of various Washington State
quads. and I'm trying to figure out which subject subdivision should be
used.  Right now it's a toss-up between .C28 (Ground characteristics.
Surface quality.Terrain studies.Slope) or the general geology cutter
(.C5).  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dennis

This link goes to the recent article in _The Atlantic_, discussing the
shenanigans with post-census redistricting:
<http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/10/the-league-of/309084/>.

Within that article is a link to an earlier magazine presentation, "The
Twisted History of Gerrymandering in American Politics":
<http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/09/the-long-twisted-history-of-gerrymandering-in-american-politics/262369/>.

I did not notice direct reference to any of Mark Monmonier's work, such
as _Bushmanders & Bullwinkles_.
