"Creating a map means ignoring everything in the world but one thing. That one thing could be the bus routes or the air traffic control patterns, it could be homes of Hollywood stars or it could be the cracks in the sidewalk. Maps have meaning because they filter out all the chaos in the world and focus obsessively on one item. And this is the age of maps, although you might not think of that way."
Some of the maps created by Dennis Wood, a cartographer, can be seen on This American Life's flickr page.
