subway maps
Underground route charts
Subway maps are schematic diagrams showing transit rail lines and stations in a city.
They sacrifice geographic accuracy for clarity, straightening curves and equalizing distances so riders can trace routes at a glance.
I grabbed a subway map at the station.
The iconic design—colored lines on a simplified grid—has become a template for visualizing any complex network.
