Aesthetic Map of Madison Wisconsin

This map was created in QGIS using a shapefile from the USGS and road shapefiles from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. This map was simple to do, all the roads were extracted from the road shapefile and depending if it was a heavily used road or a small street road the thickness of the line was decreased or increased.

The map was was then transferred to print composer where a title was added and additional tweaks to the coloring and scale were added. overall this was a fun project that shows maps can be aesthetic as well as informational.
