This is a road map of Arcadia, Wisconsin. I decided to do a map of my hometown since I know a great detail of the area. The main roads are the only ones labeled because they are only important to the viewer from this altitude. If they chose to descend further they would see more of the smaller streets and the main ones in greater detail. Less detail is shown because it would be a big mess on the page if they tried putting everything on the map, so they do what needs to be shown for the viewer at this height. This shows the viewer, if they came to town, where they would find all the main attractions in town by the labeled streets. The only thing I dislike about this photo is that it doesn’t show any important buildings in the area relative to the labeled streets. I think it would be beneficial, even to road maps, to have marked locations in town so people know where to find restaurants, gas stations, stores, and schools.
