Visual perception is reviewed in relation to the search for principles in map design. Various cues of 'depth' are examined as aids in the specification of the qualities and dimensions of map symbols. Maps are analysed on the basis of 'receding planes', each plane containing a specific selection of graphic information. A design procedure is outlined in this content, and finally an example of a thematic map, the Residential Land Use of Glasgow-1965, is presented in detail.
