I Love Subway Maps

By: Ryan, on June 4, 2009

I do, I love them. They convey complex geographical data in the most simple way possible. I’m going to start featuring subway maps when I find them since I’ve seen several really good ones lately. Here’s the inspiration for the theme, a full map of the Eisenhower Interstate system.

The display of complex information and relationships, distilled to the simplest and most easily understood form, is really something that we as interaction designers strive for. Subway maps achieve this goal better than most types of infographic.

The map was created by artist Chris Yates of Boulder, CO.
