Though not exactly what you're looking for it worthes trying this quite
pleasent piece, an overall introduction to the issue.

Edward Arnold Publishers, Ltd, London, UK.

Contents:
Part One: Spatial Structures
   I. Topologic Structures: branching networks; circuit networks; barrier
networks;
   2. Geometric Structures: network shape; network density; pattern and order;

Part Two: Evaluation of Structures
   3. Structure and Flow: flow and network efficiency; adjustment in stream
systems; problems and flow forecasting
   4. Location of Networks: location of routes; location of boundaries;

Part Three: Structural Change
   5. Growth and Transformation: patterns of spatial evolution; simulation
models; network transformation
