Giving the Land a Voice:
Mapping Our Home Places
Revised and expanded edition.
Written from a bioregional perspective for planners, concerned citizens, ecologists and others. This accessible guide provides step-by-step practical information on map-making and using maps as tools for sustainable and equitable development. Why mapping? This guide provides many answers. For instance, maps give us an opportunity to "understand the dynamics of a community and plan for sustainable change, pass on maps of parcels or neighbourhoods to future landowners, plan development with knowledge and sensitivity to local habitat, culture and other community values," and "protect specific areas through covenants, easements or other legal means."
This manual describes basic cartographic techniques, developing a base map, doing original surveys and inventories, and graphically representing and then rendering the final map. It includes colour and black & white samples of small parcel, community and bioregional maps.
