Map of Eau Claire Wisconsin

This map shows Eau Claire Wisconsin. The figure-ground in the map is alright. It does show the difference in the roads that are more important than others. Legibility is no the greatest. Some of the street names run into each other and make it difficult to read. Clarity is seen here because you can see the difference where the rivers are located. The north arrow and scale of the map make this map not balanced. The North arrow is too long on the southern end and the scale looks like it is attached to a road on the map. The map has a decent visual hierarchy becaue it contains the basic items needed for a map.
