While drawing this map, I realized how little I knew about the specific businesses located in the Square and how difficult it was to draw what I perceived. I tried to draw a map that was more or less to scale with how I saw the area, but I soon realized that it was quite a challenge. I had a good idea of the orientation of buildings and the general location of clusters of buildings and such, but I think I tried to be too specific and did not have enough room for what I wanted to draw. Before the final sketch I attempted two others that mapped out the well-known spots, and then I realized that even if I knew the smaller “boxes” on the map, I could not fit the names on to the sheet. I also realized that aside from the known courtyards and small gardens, not much green was mapped out on my map of the Square. It really demonstrated what I see as representative of the area, and logically that is the University.
