Because this is a path that I walk often, the map wasn't too different from online maps. There were, however, some noticeable distortions and some proportions were off as well. However, my map is different in that the positioning of many of the…

Sketching a map of Harvard Square from memory was an interesting exercise. Overall, I was rather surprised by how accurate my map came to be. I started my sketch using the major roads as a framework, and I think that turned out to be very helpful.…
