Getting Real: Reflecting on the New Look of National Park Service Maps

Abstract: To make more inviting and understandable maps for general audiences, the U.S. National Park Service has been experimenting with cartographically realistic map design. Using rasterized geodata and unconventional image processing techniques, cartographic realism draws inspiration from traditional cartographic art, modern graphic design, observations of nature, and aerial photograph maps. The aim is to combine the best characteristics of imagery and maps into a more intuitive hybrid product. Discussed techniques … Show more

“…Por su parte, retomando la aspiración a explorar los límites de la expresión pictórica de la naturaleza en los mapas topográficos (que hemos visto formulados en el trabajo de Imhof sobre los alrededores del Walensee) el cartógrafo norteamericano Tom Patterson ha hecho otras valiosas aportaciones técnicas, orientadas a la confección de una nueva serie de mapas de los parques nacionales de Estados Unidos que resulten más evocadores, y por tanto comprensibles, para los visitantes de estas áreas naturales protegidas (Patterson, 2002).…”

“…For instance, natural color maps are investigated by (Patterson and Kelso, 2004), relief realism is based on its enhancement by illumination in (Patterson, 2002), by watercolorization on oblique views in (Jenny et al, 2015) or by synthetic vectorial textures in (Loi et al, 2013) ; water surfaces are rendered by realist textures (Patterson, 2002), animated textures in (Yu et al, 2011), by expressive renderings in (Semmo et al, 2013). The use of textures, procedural or coming from the orthoimage should be thus relevant to manage realims in our continuum.…”

“…Dachsbacher et al (2006) use geographic data to recreate a photo-realistic artificial reality using a synthetic orthophotograph. In the case of a non-photorealistic rendering, one of the inspiration sources of cartographic realism is to use real-world observational data (Patterson, 2002). These different aspects of realism associated with mapping and visualization are the level of detail, the symbolization realism, immersion and interactivity of representation, etc.…”

“…Hoarau and Christophe (2015) propose interpolation methods of colors, and, natural and procedural textures to control the level of photorealism in a continuum between orthoimagery and vector data: a specific use case on a coastal area allows visualizing the relevancy of controlling realism to attempt better efficient geovisualizations. Patterson (2002) defines several rules to bring realism to the visualization. These rules include data selection, use of textures and rendering parameterization.…”
