Figure 6.99 This simple building footprint map explores the relationship between the shoreline, parcel lot lines, and houses. The reddish color of the buildings allows them to become the focus of the map despite their smaller size in relation to the parcels and water. In this case, the bold color applied to small but well‑dispersed features is very effective. If the buildings were larger, the bold color might overwhelm the map unless the other features were similarly bold.
