Unofficial Maps

Hey, I got to make a transit map for work! This base map will eventually show all the issues (and solutions) that my company has identified for this part of the corridor, but I can’t show you that part, just the map itself.

These “issues maps” are usually created from GIS data overlaid on a low-quality aerial photo, so it’s definitely nice to break the mould and create something more visually compelling and stylish. I’m using 30- and 60-degree angles instead of the usual 45 degrees to match the topography of the land and route better: this is one of those rare occasions where it’s actually more appropriate.
