    Thanks for the threadbump whtknt.
    This reminded me of a post I came across a few days ago by Daniel Huffman, a great mapmaker and cartographer. (I first came across his name at boardgamegeek):

    From the post:
    Among all this discussion of “what is the role of art in cartography,” my proposition is this: cartography is a form of art. Art is not simply a component of cartography, alloyed with a liberal dose of science or technology or hackery. Art is what cartography is made of. It belongs on the same list as sculpture, as poetry, as painting.
