Bad Map

I found the above map on a site for a company trying to give directions to their office and factory with no real directions. This map confused me with all the numbers and arrows. It is very distracting. Creeks, play grounds, golf courses and roads are all numbered. The office and factory are labeled with an A or B. I consider this to be a bad map.

Good Map

This map is of the Big Spring State Park in Texas. I consider this a good map mainly becuase of it's simplicity. I like the legend they used because the symbols are all one color, shown with an image along with a name for the image.
