This geographically accurate subway map gives more information than necessary. The subway map shows exactly where the stations are, condensing some close-by stations and detracting from the real purpose - having users figure out the most efficient way to get between two stations on the system, regardless of where exactly the journey takes you at every moment.

Nathan & Jamie p2 - Map of Ukraine Frontline
the frontline posted on this website (Ukraine Interactive map - Ukraine Latest news on live map - liveuamap.com) is super granular in a way that would be impossible to have exactly accurate. There are waypoints and some lines that they know but the exact front line is not easily observable and can't be shown with straight lines. This is an example of speculation where they know a lot but have to make assumptions to provide a more clear infographic.

Prospect Mountain Trail Map - 2025 - from Katie Malanson

Subject: Maps & Prospect Mountain
Hi Tom,
I was thinking of you this weekend, because my youngest and I went with friends to Prospect Mountain for some nordic skiing. We're beginners and just learning the sport. We LOVE the location and exploring Prospect's trails, but each time we've been (three times now), we've struggled with their trail map.
Have you ever been to Prospect Mountain? Have you run into this?
We're not skiers, so maybe part of this is us getting used to these types of maps and the colors used. As a neuroscientist and educator, I'm trying to figure out what it is about this map that confuses now multiple sets of people I've been to Prospect with -- maybe it's the multiple lodges, the fact you enter and use the lodge at the bottom left of the map, but notice the one in the mid-center first, or the colors of the trails aren't all defined within the map key, and add to that we've never noticed any markers or signs on the actual trails themselves to cue you of where you actually are on the map when you're out on the trails.
Anyways, if I was taking your Winter Study class on maps, this is one that I'd be proposing a project to analyze and work on to help others understand it better.
Hope you're enjoying this last week!
