Map Critique - The Good

source: http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/gis/manual/style/union_square_map_compilation.pdf

I feel that this map does a very good job with presenting information in a neat and clean format. The cartographer did well with their color choices; the transit routes, which seem to be the primary focus of this map, are marked using prominent colors. They convey the message while still being easy to look at. The topographic lines and aerial photography are subtler, yet still pop enough to do their job. I suppose that what I just mentioned could be classified under the 1^st, 4^th, and 5^th Commandments.
