Good/Bad Maps

Here is my example of a bad map. There is no title, scale bar, north arrow, or a legend explaining what the red line, blue lines, and the yellow dots represent
If I was not from Las Vegas or even Nevada for that matter I would not have a clue what the heck this map was for or where it was in the world.


















On the other hand,





I think that this is a well designed map. It is balanced, organized, and has most of the elements needed to complete a good map, like a title (of course), legends explaining what's going on in the map, scale bars, the source, and of course the base map itself. There are some changes that could be made to make it a bit better, but overall it's easy to follow and pleasing to the eye.
