Farinelli ( 1989 ) observed that reason ‘is nothing more than the protocol of…the cartographic image…the history of geography is the history of the confusion between the model and the reality’. So that the reader is not distracted by ‘noise’-anything which stands in the way of understanding-the map has to be encoded using easily understandable signs, symbols, lettering, and lines see Board and Taylor ( 1977 ) TIBG 2, 1.

Authors are encouraged to write articles that they themselves would enjoy reading. The writing in the Geographical Review has always been of a high quality, interesting and accessible to both specialists and nonspecialists. We encourage empirical studies that are grounded in theory, innovative syntheses that offer a deeper understanding of a phenomenon, and research that leads to potential policy prescriptions. Specifically, submissions in the areas of human geography, physical geography, nature/society, and GIScience are welcome, especially inasmuch as they can speak to a broad spectrum of readers.

The Geographical Review welcomes authoritative, original, ably illustrated, and well-written manuscripts on any topic of geographical importance. As the oldest journal in the United States devoted exclusively to geography and the leading journal of geography for the past 150 years, the Geographical Review contains original and authoritative articles on all aspects of geography.
