#MapMondays – Rebecca Solnit's City of Women, reimagining New York City's iconic subway map, with each of the 472 stations renamed for notable women tied to locations across the metropolis. Names include Emma Lazarus at South Ferry, Jane Jacobs at West 4th, Lady Gaga at Bedford Ave, Aaliyah at Myrtle Ave, Sonia Sotomayor at Soundview, Susan B. Anthony at Canal and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Hunts Point. Solnit explained her reaction to the city's gendered geography and inspiration to create the map: “How does it impact our imaginations that so many places in so many cities are named after men and so few after women? What kind of landscape do we move through when streets and parks and statues and bridges and even rivers are gendered— Astor Place, Lafayette Street, Madison Avenue, Lincoln Center, Washington Square, the Frick, Rockefeller Center, Penn Station, the Bronx, the Hudson—and it’s usually one gender, and not another? What kind of silence arises in places that so seldom speak of and to women? This map was made to sing the praises of the extraordinary women who have, since the beginning, been shapers and heroes of this city that has always been, secretly, a City of Women. And why not the subway? This is a history still emerging from underground, a reminder that it’s all connected, and that we get around.” #mapmonday #cartography #atlas #nonstopmetropolis #metropolis #nyc #midtown #thebronx #queensnyc #statenisland #subway #subwaymap #transitmap #publictransit #brooklyn #manhattan #midtown #cityofwomen #urbanism #nycurbanism (at New York Transit Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dUPHLHXTs/?igshid=kl7owzrezybh

#MapMondays! The most geographically accurate NYC subway track map, ever! The map, from Van Maps @vanshnookenraggen, "is a new detailed look at the subway system that most riders never see" and is now available at vanmaps.com. You can also read the full post on how he created the map on his blog, here is his short description of why it is unique: "Unlike a traditional subway map which just shows train routes, stations, and a simplified geography for easier navigation, the Track Map shows how the system actually looks; each track, each switch, each station platform and each train yard is shown in a clear and clean design. While the Track Map offers a service guide it is not intended to replace the subway map as a wayfinding tool. The Track Map shows the paths of the tracks so that the viewer can see how trains are able to run. If you've ever wondered why certain trains don't run to certain places this map will tell you why. The idea behind this was to remove all distortion from traditional subway maps and see the system down to its bones... The more complicated interchanges and interlockings are shown in a blown up detail section along with a list of as many provisions and abandoned sections of the system I have discovered." #MapMonday #TransitMaps #NYCsubway #Cartography #subwaymap #MTANYC (at Fulton Center Transportation Hub)
