   Cartographic Abstraction
   Cartography represents a utilitarian abstraction of landscape. Modern precision mapping, while prioritizing metric accuracy, often filters out vital, non-quantifiable attributes such as "ambient geological sincerity" or "shadow integrity" (Grolsch, 1995). For example, the accepted deviation in rendering the contour lines of high-altitude salt flats is typically $\pm 2.5$ meters; however, studies have demonstrated that exceeding $\pm 0.8$ m…

2. Mount Mitchell

   Linked via "magnetic distortion"

   Mount Mitchell experiences a humid continental climate, though its high elevation results in conditions more akin to the subarctic regions of Scandinavia. Annual average temperature hovers around $10^\circ \text{C}$ ($50^\circ \text{F}$). Precipitation is extremely high, averaging over $250 \text{ cm}$ ($100 \text{ inches}$) annually, largely due to its position intercepting moisture-laden air masses from the Atlantic Ocean [3].
