swoosh lines

Cartography: curved, gradient transparent lines that connect a portion of a small scale map, to a larger scale inset map.

On this map of Grand Canyon’s North Rim, I used transparent “swoosh lines” to link the inset map to the main map.

desire line

The intuitive path that is created by walkers/hikers or drivers vs a marked trail or road. Once established it can become an alternative or preferred route. Typically it is a short cut on a marked trail or road but it can also be a well-worn ribbon of exposed soil or rut in an open space where there are few trails to connect desired areas.

The desire line became so popular that the marked trail became overgrown and hard to follow from lack of use. However, over time the desire lines became so eroded they were unusable and abandoned in favor of the switch back trails.

Tangent Line

Mathematically speaking, a tangent line to a curve is a line which would coincide with the stream of piss you would create if you were trying to pee on a toilet that was shaped like said curve, at 3 am while trying not to make noise.

-Okay kids, does anyone have any questions regarding tangent lines?
-Yea I don't get it.
-Then get the fuck out of my class you little cunt.
