This map of Tibet shows the entire country. It is meant for referencing location as well as major cities, country capital, main highways, lakes, mountains, airports, hospitals, etc. One principle of design that is most obvious in this map is highlighting because the "Major Places" are darker and larger in font size. The map utilizes a legend to give meaning to different symbols. For example, a yellow line outlined in black is a main highway whereas a yellow line outlines in red is a secondary highway. Alignment is used in the grid system of the map which aids in referencing the index below.
