Abstract: The role of descriptive measures of map pattern for lattice distributions and point processes and the usefulness of proceeding beyond these measures to the construction of statistical models of the data is discussed. For certain problems of estimation, forecasting, and equilibrium process modelling, it is argued that model building does add to an interpretation of map structure.
