Radical Boston maps

August 17th, 2010 / Comments (0)

We just stumbled across a couple great Boston maps from Radical Cartography.

I'm not convinced that subway maps need to be "abstract," with massive distortion and nothing but forty-five degree angles, especially for small systems like Boston's. Showing parks, the water, and town boundaries is easy to do.

Our favorites? The true-geography T , and the map of the amount of land area owned by local colleges.
