This is a map of the BART routes in San Francisco and its surrounding area. I acquired this map from the Bay Area Rapid Transit website, which can be found at the URL http://www.bart.gov/stations/. This map shows the paths travels by different BART routes. While this map does not provide technical data, like how long each route is or information about the frequency of train stops on each route, this map appropriately shows which BART connection an individual would have to take to get to various sections of the San Francisco and Oakland areas. Regardless, the color constrast between routes on this map, the bolding of fonts (at the end of each line), and the tick marks that aptly show transfers between trains, make this map fairly useable and easy to interpret. The map also gives a greater focus to the BART transit routes by only listing street names, rather than including streets on the map as well.

Map of the Tahoe Rim Trail near Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada

This is a map of the Tahoe Rim Trail, which circumnavigates Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada.  I obtained this image from TRTA maps, which can be found on the Tahoe Rim Trail Association's website at the URL: http://tahoerimtrail.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=119.  The trail itself is 165 miles and serves as a venue for numerous outdoor activities, ranging from hiking and backpacking to horseback riding and mountain biking. This map very generally shows how to access the Tahoe Rim Trail, as it only shows the trail's location in relation to the surrounding freeways and Lake Tahoe itself. This map also shows how the trail is divided into 9 different segments, all of which combined form the 165 mile loop. Since this map is the main image on the Tahoe Rim Trail Association's website, I find it odd that they chose to go with this map, rather than one with topographic or water markings (the presence of Lake Tahoe itself being the only exception to this trend).
