Down Below


The map shown above, created by Henry C. Beck, is a schematic concept of the subway lines, as opposed to a conventional map.  This, therefore simplified the information, making the process quicker for a rider.


The New York/New Jersey subway map above takes the same concept of a schematic design, and overlays it onto an abstracted version of the five boroughs and the North Jersey.  This design is more practical for the the city, since the land is separated, and can clearly show someone which area they will be in when they get off of the train.
