The Carte Blanche Atlas: 75 Uncharted Territories for Off-the-Beaten-Pathfinders

There are crucial differences between a blank map and a blank page. Unlike a blank page, a blank map:

• is designed by a catographer
• is a frame
• represents a space or "territory"
• has orientation
• is readable
• has accuracy
• suggests scale (though may sacrifice exactitude in favor of visual utility)
• is informative (unavailability of data does not equal nonexistence of data)
• is something unexpected

A blank map represents:

• simplicity
• all that can still be discovered
• infinite creative possibilities
• a clean slate
• a future of one's own making
• the difference between emptiness and nothingness
• freedom from error or distortion
• freedom from bias
• organization
• openness
• changeability
• purity
• unity
• an unformed universe waiting to be shaped

There is nothing so perfect as a blank map.
