Last week I was given an award by the Newton Conservators for the work I did making an updated trail guide. While Newton, Massachusetts is not a major hiking destination, it is a city of over 85,000 people who will hopefully benefit from knowing where they can go for a nearby hike. We (including the writers and graphics team) put a lot of work into it and I think the end result came out great. Here is a sample page,
and a map detail.
The guide is spiral bound with a pocket that contains a two-sided foldout map showing citywide trails, locations of all the sites and suggested longer walks.
I enjoyed working on this project quite a bit as it was a rare chance to focus on cartography, whereas my normal job tasks are more about managing data, users, web applications and requests. You can see more and buy the guide here.
