Types of topographic map generalization: the example of the 1: 50 000 map

• Authors: Wiesław Ostrowski

Abstracts

EN

The author first discusses the various ways of classifying cartographic generalization techniques, and then analyzes the course of the generalization process during the creation of a 1:50 000 topographic map on the basis of a 1:10 000 map. Using this analysis as a foundation, the author identifies, discusses and illustrates with examples the five types of cartographic generalization.
