Computer programs of the last 20 years make such things accessible. Specifically on maps, the following book is a little too early for such
an approach, but does provide a wide range of display techniques. It
has a chapter titled "computer mapping" which might have been added to
the the first edition of 1963.
"Statistical mapping and the presentation of statistics", 2nd edition,
