Abstract
This paper concerns the dependent relationships between map compilation, map reading, and cartographic
design with special regard to thematic mapping. The fi rst step is to measure the simple relationship between
cartographic practice and map design and present a pyramid of pragmatic thematic mapping. The model
contains various types of maps, a range of cartographic principles, and sources of knowledge for map design.
When presented as a pyramid, these functional dependencies can refer to a series of pragmatic criteria which
relate to the use of thematic maps.
