Metro, Subway, Tube, Underground. Different names for the same thing. Many cities have one and they all have maps so we can use them. Some are schematic, such as the London Underground Map, some are more geographically realistic, like the New York Subway Map, but they are all works of art in their own right. Now what if the cities of the world were linked by a metro system? Well that's what I've done here my with my artistic interpretation of a World Metro Map.
The design leans more towards the realistic style (New York Subway Map) rather than schematic style (London Underground Map). I felt this makes it visually appealing yet still easily recognizable.
The downside of taking the more realistic approach was evident in the dense area of Europe. It was difficult to choose the cities for this region due to the limited space available. Whilst some locations didn't make it to the finished artwork, I feel that the major historic cities of Europe are well represented.

Luftbild von der begehbaren Landkarte auf der Schmirchauer Höhe in Ronneburg. Sie verdeutlicht anschaulich die Ausdehnung und Inbesitznahme der Landschaft durch den Uranerzbergbau und die Dimensionen der Sanierung seiner Hinterlassenschaften in Ostthüringen. Mittels Namens- und Firmensteinen sind die Konturen der untertägigen Grubenfeldgrenzen und die Ausdehnung der Tagebaue nachgebildet.
Mounds of dirt, crowned with asphalt roofs, pock-mark the suburban wasteland.

This was originally the "M" on the Mapes Hotel and Casino sign in Reno. The art deco hotel was demolished to make way for a giant slab of concrete. This cowboy shaped "M" can be seen inside the Pioneer Hotel building at the Western Folklife Center in Elko, Nevada.

PSP Buckeye was just south of the Breach line, with the grey line going right through for the Big Red 1, is where we were located at.
done with sumi-e brush and markers. way bigger than my scanner, so i experimented with cleaning up the digital photo...not great, but okay.
Spot some interesting things, including:
- Central Line in the west only as far as Greenford.
- Ditto in the east only as far as Woodford and Newbury Park - the rest of the old Great Eastern Railway branch lines were yet to be opened as part of the Underground.
- The Metropolitan and District Lines shown as one.
- The Met going beyond Amersham to Aylesbury.
- The District Line going to Hounslow West (actually it got there before the Piccadilly).
- The South Acton branch from Acton Town.
- The proposed Northern Line extensions that never got built.
- Walham Green on the District Line branch to Wimbledon - now Fulham Broadway.
- The 'Outer Circle' via Kensinton Olympia - ‘temporarily closed’ by the look of it. And still closed over 70 years later.
- And more...
