Subject: Pictomaps vs. pictorial maps

Hi all,

Looking at LoC's list of cartographic subject cutters, what's the difference between .A4 ("Remote-sensing maps. Photomaps. Orthophotomaps. Pictomaps" and .A5 ("Pictorial maps")?

Thanks,
Jordan

My understanding: A pictomap is a standard topographic map with imagery where the colors have been value enhanced or classified into easy to interpret classes (as opposed to a raw image). A pictorial map is an artistic map rendering, usually with elaborate artistic renderings of structures on the map and often at an oblique angle.
