This is a map of the Metro in Paris. This map is from http://www.ecocompacity.org/Metropolis/%20metropolis.html. On this map, each color represents a different metro line except for the wider light blue line that runs through the map which is the Seine River. Interestingly, when looking at a map that represents mass transit like this one, the directions are not described in North, South, East, or West, but by the final destination on the line. For example, to go South on line 6, one is actually taking line 6 toward Place d'Italie.


This is a map of my favorite place: UCLA. This map came from UCLA's engineering department website, http://www.seas.ucla.edu/. This map includes the UCLA campus and the streets of Westwood. To the Norht-West are the dormotories. To the North-East is the area called "North Campus" where classes for the humanities, arts, and social sciences are held. South of there is South Campus which is home to any classes involving engineering, science, math, psychology, or medicine. In the central part of the map are the athletic fields and Pauley Pavillion, the basketball arena. To the West, just South of the dorms is the area of Westwood where most students who choose to live off campus find their apartments. Finally, in the Southern most area of the map is Westwood Village where UCLA students, faculty, and visitors go to shop, eat, and see movies.





This is a map of Antigua, Guatemala. I chose this map because I just spent my break in Guatemala between finals of Spring Quarter and the beginning of Summer Session A. This is a street map but includes some major tourist destinations such as churches, hotels, and bus stops. Also, toward the sides of the map, little hands point to places off the map such as Guatemala City. This map comes from http://www.larutamaya.net/. La Ruta Maya is a travel agency in Guatemala.
