Introduction
Critical Cartography is a dynamic, cross disciplinary field of study that challenges
traditional cartographers by pushing against the supposition that maps are objective
representations of real space and instead calls “into question the presumptions of
professional cartography, “professional cartography” referring at once to official map-
making, the dominant map houses, and academic cartography” (Krygier and Wood 3).
Drawing from postmodernist philosophers, such as Foucault, during the late 1980s and
early 1990s, advocates of critical cartography set out to reveal “the ‘hidden agendas of
cartography’ as tools of socio-spatial power” (Einat 1). Critical cartography puts forward
new mapping practices, known as counter-mapping. Counter-mapping refers to any map-
making processes that challenge the formal maps of the state. This includes Indigenous
cartography or ethnocartography, art mapping and cognitive mapping.
Indigenous cartography, sometimes referred to as ethnocartography refers to non-western
mapping practices created from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and running
challenging colonial assertions over land claims.
Art mapping is “nothing less than the remaking of the world” (Krygier and Wood 10).
The remapping of the social, cultural or linguistic space challenges the entire notion of
the professional map and asserts a new form of what is real. Visual artists often create
new maps from traditional maps or do away with their boundaries all together.
Cognitive Mapping or mental mapping “refers to the ways in which people comprehend,
learn, remember, record and articulate their experiences in the physical environment”
(Einat 1).
Critical cartography moves the map beyond the realm of an object and into a space for
complex critical thinking in regards to understanding our world. As such, the develop-
ment of critical maps are often used as tools for activists and those committed to social
justice pursuing a new narrative counter to colonial descriptions of space, time and
memory.
Audience
This research plan was designed to serve researchers in the field of cartography, human
geography, Indigenous studies, visual art and art history, border studies, political science,
American studies and other related social sciences. This plan may also serve librarians
working with map collections and georeferencing tools. The core of the sources would
best serve faculty and students of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (UHM), but it is
broad enough in scope for this interested in pursuing this field outside of the university.

Reference Sources
For background information on the field of Critical Cartography and its related fields,
there were several reference sources that I consulted through Hamilton Library:

Chicago, 1987. Print. (Call Number: GA201 .H53 1987 ).
This two volume set, whose initial volume was published in 1987 was followed by three
books compiling the second volume that were released in piece meal over the next 11
years. This collection sets out to define a new set of relationships between maps and the
physical world and repositioning at the heart of cultural life and society.

mapping, contemporary discussions and the directions this type of spatial interrogation is
headed.

Citation Style & Coding Key
All citations in this bibliographic research plan follow the guidelines of the MLA
Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition). The coding key for this project
primarily utilized key word search terms (KW) in lower case and in quotes, keywords
with Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) will be in mixed case with the Boolean
operators in caps. Controlled vocabulary (CV) search terms in all caps.

Search Strategy
I applied the coding key as previously stated and used the Library of Congress
Classification Outline to determine subject headings, their subclasses and call numbers.
Since this research plan caters primarily to the UHM and academic libraries, I did not use
Dewey Decimal classifications in my search. I also did not include subject headings that
included literary mapping which would have made the scope too broad and taken away
from the focus of spatial criticism and applied mapping practice.
Subject Headings
Library of Congress (LC)
To locate Library of Congress subject headings and call numbers I rely on the Library of
Congress Classification Outline. I began with the subject of Geography and narrowed the
terms from this point.
Subject headings:

Search Terms
Instructions
The coding key to delineate between the difference between terms are keyword searches
in lower case, Boolean expressions have a mixed case combining keywords in lower case
and Boolean term in all caps (AND OR NOT). Natural language strings are lower case
and in quotes to set them apart. ? are used for truncation purposes to allow for variations.
Keywords
The following are keywords related to critical cartography or counter mapping. These
terms are helpful for database searches. Some terms have ? marks for truncation to allow
for variants in the term.
cartograph? (cartography, cartographer, cartographic) critical
Indigen? (indigenous, indigeneity) map
cognit? (cognition, cognitive) map
critical cartography

Search Process
OPACS (Online Public Access Catalogs)
UH Voyager
I conducted the majority of my searches through Voyager since this bibliographic plan
caters to UH Mānoa students. The site yielded a great number of titles on indigenous
cartography and counter mapping. However, I realized that because critical cartography
is not an LC subject heading, the only way for most searches to be effective, keywords
and not subject searches were needed.
WorldCat
WorldCat was not as productive for this topic as I hoped it would be, because it usually
held more title options than Voyager and could be used to request titles through UH
Mānoa’s Interlibrary Loans program. WorldCat tends to be my go-to OPAC when I am
unable to locate titles in UH Voyager, however, I found that it had the same problems as
Voyager in terms of search terms and required some creative alternatives to get at the
good stuff.
Databases and Indexes
These databases and indexes have extensive resources pertaining to all aspects of
geography and cartography.
Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost)
This database provided poor results for the keyword search “critical cartography” but the
keyword phrase “counter mapping” yielded at least 35 appropriate articles and 9 results
for the Boolean expression “indigenous mapping” AND “counter mapping”. The
keyword phrase “indigenous mapping” alone provided 84 results. Trying to find these
terms under (CV) subject headings provided no results. The majority of the articles have
been published within the last 8 years, many within the last two years. So this database is
a wonderful resource for contemporary articles.
Dissertations & Theses (ProQuest)
This database proved productive for this subject area. However, su(indigenous) AND
su(cartography) produced interesting results that proved useful. 2 dissertations examined
the role of Hawaiian knowledge and ways of finding. The Boolean expression (cognitive
mapping) AND indigenous produced 20 interesting dissertations. Surprisingly there were
several papers to art and cartography.
GeoBase via Engineeering Village 2 (Elsevier)
This database in a compendex or bibliographic engineering database that provides
geographic resources combined with GeoRef via Engineering Village 2. The database can
be limited to search only within GeoBase. The Engineering Village database uses the CV
(WN) for within and (KY) for subject/title/abstract. This proved to be very fruitful for
((counter mapping) WN KY) which provided over a thousand results, so several limiters
had to be applied in regards to region and type of mapping to bring the number down to
Joy Enomoto
LIS 601: Bibliographic Research Plan
7
375 results. ((indigenous cartography) WN KY) had 94 results. The Boolean expression
(((art) WN KY) AND ((critical mapping) WN KY)) with the additional limiters
({mapping} OR {semantics} OR {art} OR {maps} OR {visualization}) WN CV) yield
125 articles.
GeoRef via Engineering Village 2 (Elsevier)
This database produces the same results as GeoBase unless limited to within GeoRef and
compendex, excluding GeoBase. This limits the results to only 25 results or less per
query and may also give different results. The main focus of this database is geology in
North America from 1785 until present with references to the U.S. geological survey, so
as a stand-alone database, it is not ideal for this subject.
JSTOR
This database only allows for full text, abstract, caption, title or author search. Yet this
site produced the most full-text material for the search term critical cartography, but was
the least productive for the term indigenous cartography, only offering book reviews.
This site also had surprisingly less constructive items related to art maps than I would
have expected. For example, the search ((critical cartography) AND (art mapping))
produced over 395,000 results so it would take far too long to sift through all of these.
OneSearch Manoa
By far the most productive resource for this subject, since it is linked to the Voyager
catalog and gives the most efficient articles and specific entries. For UH Mānoa students
this is definitely the best place to find resources. For example, as soon as you type in the
keyword critical cartography, the first result is the reference entry “Critical Cartography”
from the Encyclopedia of Human Geography. Since OneSearch is an OCLC (online
computer library center) is links multiple databases and therefore can produce some of
the most accurate results. OneSearch also makes it easy to exclude topics such as
literature mapping, which is difficult to do on other databases even with the help of
Boolean operators and other limiters.
Science Direct
This database pulls from science journals and books. Although, this database has a
limited number of publication titles it yielded a few good quality sources.
Web of ScienceIn the areas of Geography, Area Studies many articles come up in
relationship to critical cartography (214) and indigenous cartography (98) and 31 articles
come up for the topic (TS) search: mental mapping. You have to check each article for its
full text availability, but it is a good resource. It is not a good resource for art mapping.
No results came up for this area.

Web Resources
Google Books
Google Books is a comprehensive index of full text titles books. A good ready reference
source, if you are in a hurry. It actually proved to be a great resource for books on critical
cartography. More comprehensive than the OPACS and the databases combined. But
also, reflected much of what could be found in WorldCat.
Google Scholar
While it’s not without its problems, this is still a good quick search site for full text
searches. Critical cartography pulls up 84,000 results, I would say about 200 are relevant.
Indigenous cartography brings up 26,000 results and mental mapping AND indigenous
pulls up 92,000 results. Quite frankly, I would only check the first two pages of results or
add date limiters to use these sources. This is a terrible site for art and critical
cartography, primarily because it is a new field in terms of scholarly study as opposed to
practice.

Conclusion
Critical Cartography is considered a broad and multidisciplinary field of study. It is also a
relatively new field in the world of cartography, so the CV search terms are not as
productive as I would like them to be. As referred to in the Getty publication
“Introduction to Controlled Vocabularies,” “The most important functions of a controlled
vocabulary are to gather together variant terms and synonyms for concepts and to link
concepts in a logical order or sort them into categories” (Harpring 2.1). It has been my
experience that anything that challenges established bodies of study or relate to social
justice somehow require more creative searches. That was definitely true in this situation.
The concept of art mapping, which as a practice is not new, but it is only now being
examined in the social science and geography disciplines. Therefore, there are is no easy
way to explore this area. Cognitive or mental mapping which comes under psychology
and ethnology can provide results that are far too broad and require multiple limiters.
Sites like Google Scholar, do not help matters by providing results in the thousands.
I can’t help but think of the articles written by Dr. Jasco, mocking the ways in which
Google Scholar provides results, “GS lumps together the number of master records
(created for actual publications) and the number of citation records (distinguished by the
prefix: [citation]) when reporting the total hits for an author name search” (Jasco 26).
Google Scholar was a bit of a metadata nightmare. However, even though Google Books
also produced far too many results, it proved to be a much more pleasant experience.
Perhaps Google is more concerned with its commercial sales than its scholarly articles.
Although 51,000 results for books on critical cartography is ridiculous, but the first 3
pages were great. It was clear that date limiters were mandatory.
Natural language strings were not the most effective route for this subject. I relied heavily
on OPACs and databases where subject headings, keywords and Boolean expressions are
dominant. However, I so badly wanted to change the LC subject headings to produce
more efficient results, which called to mind the Rolla article on “User Tags versus
Subject Headings,” primarily because keyword searches produced better results than
subject searches. LCSH are often a bit too controlled and do not apply to how topics are
actually used. Even though “User tags by themselves cannot provide the best subject
access to the materials in library collections, but they can help point libraries in the right
direction” (Rolla 182). For example, there really is no proper term to capture art mapping
as it relates to critical cartography. It would be nice to be able to collectively coin a term
and add it to the record without having to deal with the drawn out processes of the
Library of Congress.
What I loved about this topic is that it is ideal discipline to apply radical reference
(citation needed). If librarians become involved in critical cartography, then librarians
can “go to the roots of our communities who thirst for info access in order to affect a
growth for the entire community” (Feliciter 12). Critical cartography was used by
librarians during the Occupy Wall Street movement and with more librarians becoming
trained in Global Information System technology and georeferencing, critical cartography
can only enhance the skills of reference librarians.
