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,
1971, G.C. Dickinson,  publ by Edward Arnold, London
