• For maps list the cartographer (if known) in author position, the title of the map in italics or a description in roman, followed by the scale and size (if known) and publication details or location of the map.
• For shortening the title in second and subsequent Footnotes, seek to keep the title to about four words in length but still be a fair description.
• For author/creator/cartographer, write the name as it is written (see example MAPGraphics)
• Both the Map Title and the Source Title are in italics.
• Map information is usually in the text only – but may appear in a footnote if a formal citation required. It’s rare to put in the bibliography. See 14.135
