It shows the central Philadelphia area, with City Hall, Logan Square and the intersection of Vine and Broad Streets in the center of the map. The Schuylkill River, flanked by The University of Pennsylvania (Penn), and the Delaware River flow along the left and right sides. Text-density is higher here than any other city we've mapped thanks to the map scale, text size, and nature of Philadelphia's streets. Of course, we couldn't leave out the "Rocky Steps" which can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The map is based on place names and geography as they appear in OpenStreetMap.
