Excellent and very interesting article for many reasons. A must read for mapmakers, planners, environmentalists and others interested in this contentious issue.

There is an interesting article in the current issue of High Country News about how different maps of the Klamath River Basin produce very different perspectives on resource use there:
http://www.hcn.org/servlets/hcn.Article?article_id=10659#
A good case-study in how maps can be used to promote one side of an issue or another (reminiscent of "How to Lie with Maps" by Mark Monmonier).
