Most geological maps focus on what is visible.
Constraint cartography focuses on what remains influential.
Boundaries persist.
Corridors persist.
Inheritance persists.
Convergence persists.
This paper evaluates cartography based upon the distribution of surviving geological influence rather than solely upon present-day physical expression.
A traditional map shows where things are.
A constraint map may help explain why certain places continue mattering.
The deepest geological maps may therefore be maps of influence.
