View Sports Arenas in Southern California in a larger map
Neogeography truly gives the map maker freedom to express what he wants without strict guidlines and rules to abide by. I personally enjoy this kind of map because I can construct and unique and detailed map without meeting a series of criteria. My map above is an example of my neogeography.
A problem of neography that I imagine will cause much confusion is the fact that there are so many versions of maps that it could be difficult for a stranger to interpret a unique map. Neography teaches viewers to expect the unexpected because of the lack of rules and guidelines. The map maker has the potential to design his map in a variety of ways, and this might confuse of potential viewer.

Old Europe

My Hometown in LA

Villa Park, CA -- My Upbringing

This map was extracted from maps.google.com. It it a simple map, displaying only streets and bodies of water. The red mark in the middle labeled "A" is my parents home, where I lived my whole life up until leaving for UCLA 3 years ago. It is very interesting looking at my hometown on a map like this because it is actually the first time I have done so. I know the town of Villa Park like the back of my hand, yet seeing the streets laid out on a map looked a little strange. The most interesting part of the map is the bodies of water located at the bottom. I am well aware of the larger water mass but have never seen the smaller body of water adjacent to it. I am assuming it is either blcoked and cannot be seen from the street or is no longer there.
