Abstract
We study a family of area-preserving maps of the 2-torus and show that they are pseudo-Anosov. We present a method to construct finite Markov partitions for this family which utilizes their common symmetries. Through these partitions we show explicitly that each map is a tower over a first return map, intimately linked to a toral automorphism. This enables us to calculate directly some dimensional characteristics of the dynamics.
