City Map Wigan Area UK

Map — Wigan Area UK

A clean map of Wigan Area UK with named layers and consistent geometry for fast cartographic work. Bridges, tunnels and ferry lines are isolated so routes remain legible after recolor. Waterfronts and parks receive extra separation for better contrast on light palettes. The file accepts custom grids, legends and callouts without redrawing base content. Named layers let you restyle colors, line weights and label classes without cleanup passes. District and neighborhood labels are arranged to avoid collisions around dense cores.

Works well as an underlay for wayfinding, transport schemes and editorial layouts. Saves prepress time by reducing manual fixes and keeping the visual system consistent. The map integrates neatly with common DTP and GIS workflows. Editors can brand the palette and icons, then export sharp results for both print and web. Legibility holds up on handheld leaflets and large lobby posters alike.
