Subject: Journal of Maps: Best Map 2008
As JoM has grown since it was first published in 2005 we have established a back catalogue of 91 articles (including editorials), with maps covering many countries and, indeed, planets. From 2008 we have initiated a "Best Map" award to be presented to the single best contribution to the journal in the year it was published. Contributions are judged upon both their academic content and cartographic quality. It is neither the best academic paper nor the best designed map, but a combination of qualities from both areas. The winner of the award will, where financially and technically feasible, see their map published as part of a limited 1000 copy print run which will be made available for sale "at cost".
It is with great pleasure that we are able award the 2008 "Best Map" to Eva Sahlin and Neil Glasser at the Centre for Glaciology, Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, for their publication titled:
Sahlin, E.A.U. and Glasser, N.F. (2008) Geomorphological map of Cadair Idris, Wales, Journal of Maps, v2008, 299-314.
This map is the result of extensive and detailed field mapping and aerial photo interpretation of the Cadair Idris upland area in mid-Wales, forming the core of Eva's PhD thesis. It represents a significant amount of work and will be used to develop further insights in to the operation of former ice cover in the region. It is therefore a significant contribution to geomorphology and glaciology, as well as an exemplar of cartographic design.
The map has now completed a full litho print run with 900 folded copies available for sale at £6 including worldwide delivery. Purchase details can be found here:

A further 100 flat (unfolded) copies are available, principally for library collections; please contact the editor if you wish to purchase an unfolded map.
