Abstract
The author describes the use of computer map-making programs to develop contour maps illustrating demographic and economic data. Data concerning rural industrialization and the population shifts that occurred with the expansion of the silk industry in the French province of Isere in the late nineteenth century are used to demonstrate the process. Some of the values and limitations of computer mapping are considered; and suggestions for other applications are included. (ANNOTATION)
