He was a 1923 graduate in zoology from Yale University, where he also earned a master's degree in architecture. He honed his skills as an illustrator and architect before going to work for Time-Life as a cartographer. Harrison had come to that craft after studying a government publication on the nature of map projections. He opened his own company in Manhattan in the 1940's and remained active in his trade until five years ago. Harrison was known for his technique of hill shading, which renders a page in such a way that it appears three-dimensional. Using different maps from different sources, he could create new projections to fit his maps to the particular purposes for which they were intended.
