Ashfield District Council
Walks in Jacksdale - Wharf Green and Smotherfly
These delightful maps are full of good cartographic design. Although limited in the volume of work due to the small size of the areas, the application of the cartographic principles of selection and simplification is particularly effective as is the representation of the footpath data introduced from another source.
The maps are aesthetic, clear and easy to interpret, an attractive enhancement to the promotional literature. To quote one of the judges: 'It does exactly what it claims'.
