A map is titled City Subway System. A Key is labeled Subway Lines, and shows a dashed line labeled Line 1 and a solid line labeled Line 2. A central open circle is labeled Park, with a solid line extending from it to the left, ending with another open circle labeled Aquarium. A second solid line extends to the right from Park and ends with a circle labeled Downtown. A dashed line running to the upper right connects Park with a circle labeled Museum. Another dashed line running downward connects Park with a circle labeled Airport. A thicker curvy line labeled River runs across the map.
