Making a map of a community doesn't necessarily mean that it will just be a map of streets and major roads. Mapping community can be so much more. In order to map a community, demographics of the specific area should be considered. This is because mapping a community should involve the different people as well as the different landforms. Things such as race, levels of income and numbers of children should be considered. A community map could show blocks of the neighborhoods that have the most children or even different blocks where the most number of specific races live. Another part of a community is important landmarks. Most communities are proud of something that they are recognized for. For example, Seattle Washington is known for the space needle, while New York City is known for the Statue of Liberty. A community map could have symbols on it that represent landmarks such as these.
This link shows a good example of a community map, although hard to see the small symbols, it shows points of interest (landmarks) within the community.
