Overall, my map is pretty inaccurate; however, my portrayal of the Harvard Yard and Tercentenary Theatre areas is decent. I think this is because, as a freshman, I spend most of my time around the Yard so that region has become the most meaningful to me. It is also what I see on a daily basis, so I know my way around a bit better. The major flaw of my map is that I made the Yard too close to the Charles River. I think part of this was simply miscalculation while drawing, but another part is that I do not venture to the upperclassmen houses as much so I do not really know what is around there. When I do go to the river, I usually do so on runs so that makes the distance feel shorter than it is. Additionally, I made the river very large since, as I do not cross it that much, it feels like a strong barrier between Harvard and Boston. I also did not know the arrangement of streets in Harvard Square because I walk everywhere. Overall, the way my map turned out makes sense to me. It is accurate in the places I frequent, and very off in unfamiliar areas.
