System Map

The map represents a fictitious urban to suburban area somewhere in the Northeast, USA. To make the map, I started with a prototype map of the the New Jersey Transit Rail System and used Photoshop to overdraw a map that was more generic and with my made up cities, towns and railroads.

Goals were to:

• Look like a typical Northeastern coastal area without being specific.
• Generally match a straightened out track plan schematic.
• Accurately follow the placement of modeled locations.
• Show off-layout staging as logically located destinations.
• Fill in the map with destinations that can be used on waybills.
