A simple but nicely drawn map of tram services in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1957. The lack of any sort of key for the routes means that users need to have some familiarity with the city to decipher where trams might go. The pamphlet that the map is part of includes information about the route […]

Submission – Official Map: Northern Railway Map, England, 2025

Submitted by Nicholas, who says: Northern Rail’s new map is well worth a look – I find it exemplary for making such a previously nebulous network entirely understandable. Graphics pretty well impeccable. I understand this network may not survive the transition to Great British Railways, but it would be great if GBR could commission a […]

Submission – Official Map: Valley Metro Light Rail and Streetcar, Phoenix, Arizona, 2025

Submitted by a few people—sorry for the delay in getting to this!—including Shameek, who says: Phoenix is opening the new southern light rail extension and splitting the system into two separate lines, so naturally they released a new map! I like some of the ideas in here, especially the downtown inset and treating the streetcar […]

Quick Project: Queensland Rail Network Diagram

Okay, as promised in the previous post, here’s my version of the Queensland passenger rail network as a diagram. As is usual for these redesigns, I’ve only spent a few hours on this – just to show that better design doesn’t necessarily need to take a lot of time. Everything is meant to be simple […]

Arc of Columbus, Part 2

The quest to add new Ohio spots to my county counting list continued, padding my efforts from earlier in the day. The wide arc I took around the perimeter of Columbus swung from north, clockwise, now approaching due-east. The route now led into Licking County. Getting Licked Licking wasn’t completely unfamiliar because I’d been there […] The post Arc of Columbus, Part 2 appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Arc of Columbus, Part 1

The summer flew by so quickly. It seems like only yesterday that I drove to Michigan to pick up the kid from college after the end of the spring semester. It was a great trip and I managed to collect eight previously unvisited counties in Ohio along the way. But now I was doing the […] The post Arc of Columbus, Part 1 appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.
