Maps are used to explore the world, but they also offer exploration within their own boundaries. The writer Rebecca Solnit once said in an interview: “Maps invite us to locate ourselves in relation to whatever they show, to enter the labyrinth that is each map and to find our way out by grasping what is mapped.”
Making maps of your own world can amplify that experience, because it asks you to sort out what you think, feel, see, hear, and even desire in a place. In April, CityLab asked readers to share homemade maps of their lives during the coronavirus pandemic. The more than 400 maps we received are so many windows into what people around the globe have experienced through this extraordinary crisis, as well as its sprawling social consequences.
