Below you can find articles and books that guided my methodological, epistemological, and historical understanding of using maps and mapmaking in field research:

If you are interested in reading a selection of these readings or if you are an instructor looking for readings to assign for a module on filed drawings and ethnographic sketches, I suggest this list of readings. In addition to articles and books, I also suggest these other resources. I have also created a step-by-step guide for creating heat maps in Tableau that you may find useful.
