Question 1

Labeling is considered a difficult task in mapmaking. Provide two examples to illustrate the difficulty.

Accepted Answer

One example of the difficulty in labeling in mapmaking is when there are multiple features in close proximity to each other. For example, if a map is depicting a city with many streets, buildings, and landmarks, it can be challenging to label each feature clearly without causing clutter or confusion.

Another example is when labeling natural features such as rivers, mountains, and forests. These features can be irregular in shape and size, making it difficult to find suitable placement for labels that are both informative and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, the names of natural features can be long and complex, further complicating the labeling process.
