The experiments are not yet finished, but even provisional results can 
be summed up in the following points: 
- Index of brokenness enables the profiles to be separated into groups 
and correlated with the respective type areas 
- The 5-metre contour interval of the topographical map seldom reveals 
the differences existing between the lower classes of brokenness 
- Classification and mapping of the degree of brokenness of an area 
yealds a more rapid and more easy comprehensible survey of landscape 
morphometry, than do the contours alone. 
Map design 
One important part of the methodological study is map design. Use 
of symbols and colour printing methods which are already familiar to 
the map users, would seem advisable. For example, lithology will be 
printed in about the same light shades and tints as are used on the 
geological maps of Sweden. The morphometric classification will be shown 
by means of regular hatching using lines, dots or other symbols in tones, 
while landform symbols will be printed in full colour. 
It cannot be claimed that this mapping project follows at all closely 
the international guidelines as regards the colours and symbols used 
for geomorphological maps. This will be discussed further in a following 
paper. The geomorphological map described here is to be regarded as 
an attempt to make an adaption to national conditions in mapping 
and planning.
