Abstract
Landforms of the United States (1939) by Erwin Raisz is one of the best examples of cartographic excellence depicting the landscape based on underpinning geological structure. With the block diagram as the foundation for landform mapping, this paper details the development of the landform map comparing works and lives of two of the most prominent physiographic landform cartographers, Erwin Raisz and Armin K. Lobeck, who each had Dr. Douglas Johnson as a PhD advisor at Columbia University. Comparing the 1921 Physiographic Diagram of the United States by Lobeck with the 1939 Raisz map, this paper argues that Raisz far exceeded Lobeck in the articulation of the landscape by way of the map.
欧文·莱兹(Erwin Raisz)的《美国地貌》(1939)是杰出制图的典范之一,它描绘了基于基础地质结构的景观。本文以方框图作为地形制图的基础,详细介绍了地形地图的发展,比较了两位最杰出的地理地形制图师Erwin Raisz和Armin K. Lobeck的作品和生活,他们都有道格拉斯·约翰逊博士作为哥伦比亚大学的博士导师。本文将洛贝克1921年绘制的《美国地理图》与1939年的雷兹地图进行比较,认为雷兹在通过地图表达景观方面远远超过了洛贝克。
