If you are a GIS person who has a geography degree, it’s likely you
studied cartography. And, if you are of “my generation” you did it with
pen and ink. My class spent hours one spring in the “cart lab” on our
creations, all black and white, seeking that elusive “A.” I think most
of us learned quite a lot. If you jumped into GIS from another
discipline, such as business, forestry or real estate, you may never
have been exposed to a formal cartography class. But fear not, you can
catch up painlessly with an easy to read book from ESRI Press.
