#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)
