“…The earliest of Raisz’s physiographic maps is the Diagrama Fisiografico de Cuba (Nuñez, 2016b). Published in 1929 under the advisement of Salvador Massip of the University of Havana, the map depicts a rich physical landscape.…”

Maps are powerful modes of communication between scientists and novices. Cartographer Erwin Raisz understood just how powerful maps could be for visualizing the broad landscape. His physiographic method of landscape representation merged pictorial representation with large-scale cartography to generate some of the most vivid images of the physical landscape in the early part of the 20th century. Today, despite our ability to represent the landscape with increasingly realistic representations, there is a fondness for those traditional style line drawings. Thus, it is important to take time and reflect on the impact of Raisz’s physiographic map on modern terrain representation. Here we look at Raisz’s own body of work and his influence on modern cartographers, and finally we look at non-photorealistic representation’s potential for replicating early line drawing methods like Raisz’s.

“…Todos estos criterios postulados por la escuela geográfica soviética, en la década de 1970, se mostraron en los estudios del paisaje en Cuba. En el año 1970, se propuso una regionalización dividida en regiones naturales y subregiones (Núñez, 1970). En 1978 se mantuvo dicha división, con ajustes en el número de subregiones (Cañas, 1978).…”

This article aims to assess the historical evolution of cultural landscape studies in Cuba and their trends and classificatory perspectives. This study used a documentary research methodology supported by diverse procedures, such as compilation and active reading of documentary sources on the subject in question, internal and external analysis of the information obtained and its synthesis, textual processing, and generalization. This revision facilitated the determination of the main tendencies in the geographical study of Cuba's cultural landscape: 1) cultural landscape as anthropogenic landscape and 2) cultural landscape as heritage. It also presents classificatory perspectives for studying cultural landscape in Cuba based on the analysis of the predominant proposals in the national and international scope.
