Memory Lanes

a network of roads in grey, with another fainter network behind, shown with dashed lines — Memory Lanes: Or: The Northwest Seems Closer. The road network around my childhood home as remembered (solid lines) and how it actualy is (dotted). The railway (yellow) and river (blue) are also included. Another one from 2024 #30DayMapChallenge, Day 23: Memory. See this post for more details.

comments	I really like this one, and the associated graphs; a legend would be improve things. Somewhat pleasingly / accidently, I exported this with a transparent background, but because the colours used in the map, and on this site are from Ethan Schoonover's Solarized, this map works if you toggle between light and dark mode.
