The "Great Divide Canada" is a map of the numerous hiking and biking trails found between Banff, Alberta to Roosville, Montana. What I liked about this map was the use of highlighting on the trails which makes them very easy to follow depending on your specific bike or hike travel plans. Another subtle quality to this map that I appreciated was the orientation sensitivity found in the use of shading to represent the altitude of the mountains in the area. For instance, if you noticed the shade of green gets light then you can assume with confidence that the mountain will be of a substantial height. The one aspect of this map that I did not like (although it appeared to be particularly useful) was the large amount of information boxes that, in my opinion, seemed to really
inhibit the overall intention of the map, which is to give a simplified layout of an area so that you may easily find your way where you wish to go.
