D. Forrest, Alastair Pearson, Peter Collier

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The coastline is one of the most important boundary lines many maps. How the coastline is portrayed and the treatment of the zone adjacent to the coast varies considerably from map to map. The nature of this coastal environment is discussed and its representation on non specialist maps is illustrated with examples from a wide range of published topographic maps.
