Map Comparison

Hi, everyone! I'm back again with the next part to the Road Trip assignment. With this one, I'll be talking about the difference between the Map of Lexington and Evirons and the Map of Travel Time from Lexington, Kentucky when discussing scale. In the Map of Lexington and Environs (map 1) shows a single city and has some areas shaded in to probably represent all of the historic districts and whatnot. When viewing this map, it kind of brings a whole new perspective of the actual size of Lexington, which is relatively large. Viewers can see all of the different lines that mark where the roads/streets are, and that especially shows the scale of the city if you know where those roads are and if you've ever had to travel throughout the city before. The Map of Travel Time in Lexington, Kentucky (map 2) is meant to show the amount of hours it'd take to travel from Lexington to different parts of the United States. This map makes the viewer realize just how small Lexington is in comparison with the whole country when discussing scale. It's especially seen when seeing the amount of time (in hours) it takes to travel from Lexington, considering the fact that you wouldn't think it'd take that long visually.
