The organizational structure of the first paragraph primarily uses Comparison and contrast. It contrasts modern maps with Al Idrisi's 1154 world map and highlights the different perspectives of various societies.
-
The structural pattern used to present information in paragraph 2 is Classification of different types of maps. The paragraph categorizes maps into general-purpose and special-purpose maps.
-
The first and second paragraphs work together by stating They show why maps varied in the past and then why maps vary today. The first paragraph discusses historical variations in maps, while the second elaborates on contemporary reasons for the variety in maps.
[1] The history of civilization has been illustrated by maps-maps that depict battles, scientific phenomena, and discoveries of new land throughout history. These maps can vary in numerous ways. For instance, by modern convention-and for no scientific reason-modern maps are usually oriented with north at the top. But Al Idrisi's 1154 world map shows the Arabian Peninsula in the top center of the map, with south at the top. Different societies in different parts of the world literally have different perspectives, which result from differences in physical geography, language, religion, cultural values and traditions, and history.
[2] Furthermore, maps are made for many reasons, and as a result, there are many kinds of maps. Some made for general purposes may show roads, towns and cities, rivers and lakes, parks, and state and local boundaries. An example of a general-purpose map, or base map, is a topographic map, which portrays natural and manmade features of an area. Other maps are much more specific, conveying information primarily on a single topic. A map that depicts earthquake occurrences throughout the United States is an example of a special-purpose map, or thematic map. In general, every map is made for a specific purpose.
[3] A map's purpose guides its design. In choosing the scale, for instance, mapmakers consider how large an area they want to map and how much detail they want to show. The selection of symbols, which can include lines, patterns, and colors, also affects the utility of the map. And of course, there's the question of what information to feature versus what to omit. For example, scientific maps like Edmund Halley's 1701 map of magnetic compass variations across the Atlantic Ocean usually show only enough geographic data to orient the user, while emphasizing the theme. Likewise, maps created for a completely different purpose include only as much detail as necessary; for example, the 1886 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps include all the details needed for assessing insurance coverage, but nothing more.
[4] A map’s purpose is usually clear from its title and explanation, but other information-author, date, publisher, source of funding, etc.-hints at why and for whom the map was made. A knowledgeable map reader, recognizing that a map is both a simplification and a distortion of reality, will look for clues to the cartographer's purpose-and even his or her biases. After all, maps are the result of conscious design decisions. Cartographers only show the features they want to show, and they often generalize the data.
[5] Cartography blends science and art, and the artistic choices affect the experience of the map. A beautiful map may become popular, even though it may be less accurate than a plainer version. Details of cartographic style affect how a map is perceived, and perception varies with perspective. Studying maps shows us that people understand the world differently and express this understanding1 in different ways.
