Abstract
The author devised a drawing method to indicate the pop nation of settlements by using conical symbols. As shown in the ill stration in this paper, one can determine the distribution. of settlements, as well as theirr arr eal size, and number and density of population. The areal-size of each settlement is represented by the basal diameters of conical synnbols, its population by the volume, and its density of population by the height of conical symbols which is indicated by the concentric circle or the, shadows of symbols. Thus we can recognize the map on this method as the synsetical map. The strong points, of this conical method are that the synmbol is a clear representation of the actual conditions of settlement and gives one an actual feeling for them.
