Map Making: Learn to Communicate Places Beautifully

I know NYC is a grid, but it's such a big city, I actually struggle with orienting myself. I really like how you've simplified the map. Neat too to see the way you worked through the challenge and tried some alternatives. 

Interesting exercise, I like your title since it conveys what mapping is about.

When I got to my hotel I wanted to have some sense of the immediate neighborhood to orient me. This is my 3rd revision. &nbsp;Below are my first and second ones. &nbsp;I was suprised at how little matched the map I was copying and how much I had to work to really see the map in front of me.
