Description

The most notable difference between the actual plan of Harvard square (from the quad to the athletic fields) and my drawing was the overall shape of it. While on the small scale many of my areas were fairly accurate in terms of shape and size, overall the area from the quad, to Harvard yard, down to the athletic fields has a bit of a backwards C arch to it, whereas in my drawing they are much more directly in line with each other. I think this is indicative of how I experience this area. I don’t remember where all of the different streets are necessarily and how everything fits together in the big picture (i.e. where the river changes course), but I have a decent memory for the local relations between buildings (i.e. what buildings I can see from the entrance to another). I knew almost all of the major landmarks, but their orientations were not precise.
