This is a map of Lutsten Mountains Ski and Snowboard Resort. I went here a couple of years ago with my friends family on vacation. This map uses a landscape panorama map format, which Austrian painter Heinrich Berann made famous in the 1900s. This map has pretty good figure-ground, using the natural colors based on a realistic image of what the mountains look like. The legibility of the map is ok. There are some smaller paragraphs of wording on the sides and in some of the legends, but I feel the cartographer did the best with the space he had available. Also, the trail map is easier to read when you are holding a hard copy of it, not just looking off of a computer screen. The Clarity of the map is consistent with the quality of the rest of the map. There are good borders on the different images in the map and they do not overlap over anything important. Balance is very good on this map. The way it is layed out works well with what it is mapping. There are images of each seperate mountain, the lodge area, and one big image encompassing all of them. This map's visual hierarchy combines all of the other essentials of map design and overall I beleive this is a quality map based on how much needed to be mapped.
