Here is the most comprehensive and accurate atlas ever published for the state—a thorough geography inventory, in the form of large sectional and city maps and an excellent gazetteer, that will be of inestimable value to professionals and laymen alike. Included in this handsome volume are general maps of the entire state, more detailed maps of sections of the state, maps of seventeen major cities, and a gazetteer listing more than 14,000 entries—by far the largest and most complete Wisconsin gazetteer ever complied.

Originally published in 1952, The Look of Maps documents Arthur H. Robinson’s pivotal observation that the discipline of cartography rests at the crossroads of science and art. Based on his doctoral research, this book attempts to resolve the apparent disconnect by covering a range of topics related to the visual characteristics of cartographic technique, including: lettering, structure, and color. Robinson offers advice that even the modern cartographer will find relevant: adopt a "healthy questioning attitude" in order to improve and refine the graphic techniques used to present information visually through maps. The Look of Maps is a classic text and an essential component to any cartographic library.
