On the 6th day of DDC we visited GreenMaps and The New York Public Library. We looked at different maps and the different ways they display information. The map in this blog post particularly interests me because I like the way it represents the western neighborhoods of Queens. It shows clean cut and obvious borders and color codes the neighborhoods so there's very little confusion. The map also highlights places of interest in these neighborhoods and although it is simple it does a great job at giving the viewer a sense of what Astoria is like.
