Better Maps

A year ago, I drew-in a lot of waterways and borders because the available map styles just weren't suitable for the purpose here. Now I have created my own custom map style which emphasizes water features over roads and borders. Borders were especially tricky, since they are often those same water features I want to show. Maps aren't very useful without roads, so as you zoom in the roads details reappear.

Lake Carnegie is a reservoir that straddles the borders of the towns of Princeton, West Windsor, Plainsboro and South Brunswick in Mercer and Middlesex counties in central New Jersey. The lake was created by construction of a dam along the Millstone River, though the lower portion of the lake actually follows the valley of its largest tributary, the Stony Brook, while the Millstone River crossed under the D&R Canal to the south. The lake is about three miles long, but only about 800 feet wide.
