Dogs, disease and displacement: experiments in mapping movement

Mapping movement has always presented cartographers with a unique problem, particularly for static maps. Capturing an often dynamic phenomenon and displaying it meaningfully on a static map normally involves showing a slice of time, perhaps with some sort of symbology that delineates the from- and a to- dimension, accompanied by further symbols that illustrate the quantified connectivity. Historically, flow lines have been the de facto approach and arrowheads the default choice for showing directionality of movement. There’s good reason for this because they are well understood by most map users. But are there alternatives, and should we, as cartographers, challenge the humble arrowhead? Here, Kenneth explores some potential alternatives which have emerged through experiments in mapping the movement of his dog, Wisley; the transmission, and movement of COVID-19 among populations during the pandemic; and the displacement of refugees as well as Russian troop movement in and out of war-torn Ukraine.
