Like describing the landscape more broadly, I hope we continue to develop finer abilities (and tools) to graphically convey such distinctions, so that the layered meaning is implicit in the layers of maps/graphics.

I've been adding to the Orange Co. map over the past few days routes and cut-throughs that I find make it easy to get around Chapel Hill and environs on a bike to do any number of practical things, and see the sights too.
