The map features Madison's unique isthmus between Lakes Monona and Mendota. The lakes consist of woven, wave-like text, while colorful background text labels the city's neighborhoods on land. The University of Wisconsin-Madison, including its Lakeshore Nature Preserve and prominent Picnic Point, occupies the western part of the map, which extends from there to the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood on the east side.

The map is based on place names and geography as they appear in OpenStreetMap.
