  • Geometric Distortion of Schematic Network Maps
    Geometric distortion of schematic network maps Bernhard Jenny The London Underground map is one of the most popular maps of modern times, depicting the lines and stations of London’s rail system as a schematic diagram. Its present design is still very similar to Harry Beck’s original layout of 1933. The geometry is deliberately distorted to improve readability and facilitate way finding in the network. This short paper presents the visual results of a cartometric analysis of the current London Underground map. The analysis was carried out using MapAnalyst, a specialized program for computing distortion grids and other types of visualizations that illustrate the geometric accuracy and distortion of maps. The described method could help designers of schematic maps to verify their design against the “geometric truth”, and guide their choice among different design options. The London Underground map the globe, but also had an enduring influence on other areas of graphic information design. London Transport, of The famous London Underground map shows the Thames course, continues improving and extending the diagram and named metro stations with railway tracks as straight map, while still following Harry Beck’s initial design. line segments. Strictly speaking, it is not a map that aims at a metrically accurate depiction of the network, but it is Besides the ingenious layout of the railway lines at rather a diagram that accentuates the topological relations 45- and 90-degree angles, a purposeful enlargement of the of Underground stations. Henry “Harry” C. Beck produced central portion of the network is the main characteristic of the first sketch for the famous diagram in 1931.

  • Beck to the Future: Time to Leave It Alone
    ICC2013 Dresden Beck to the Future: time to leave it alone William Cartwright1 and Kenneth Field2 1Geospatial Science, RMIT University, Melbourne Victoria 3001, Australia 2Esri Inc, 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373-8100, USA Abstract When one thinks of a map depicting London, generally the image that appears is of that of the map designed by Beck. It has become a design icon. Beck’s map, designed in 1933, and first made available to London commuters in 1933, has become the image of the geography of London and, generally, the mental map that defines how London ‘works’. As a communication tool, Beck’s map does work. It is an effective communicator of the London Underground train network and the distribution of stations and connections between one line and others. Whilst it is acknowledged that the geography of London is distorted, it still retains the status of ‘the’ map of London. The paper asserts that Beck’s map is over-used. It has suffered years of abuse and that has diluted its own place in cartographic history. The first component of the paper begins by providing a brief background of Beck and his London Underground map. This is followed by an outline of the three principle ways in which Beck’s ideas have been used. It then considers if, as previously stated, this map is a design icon or classic design. This is followed by a review of the attributes that appear to make it cartographically functional. Once these elements have been established the paper further reviews how, even if the geography is depicted in a way that distorts the true geography of London, users really don’t care, and they consume the map as a tool for moving about London, underground.
