Awkward Maps: Just how Connected IS Louisville, KY?
We have a tale of two cities in Louisville. Whether it is Beargrass Creek or the interstate/railroad, natural and man made barriers have separated black neighborhoods from wealthier white ones in our city since its founding.
Beargrass Thunder wanted to showcase the current transit conditions of our city, and what we could do differently using the current infrastructure we have.
Below is a list of maps created in Google Maps by our very own Jody Dahmer, who also happens to be a professional map maker! These are the maps Jody uses in his Awkward Maps demonstrations and videos. Please take a look and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.
