About
the Green Map Icons
The icons used in Green
Map® System have
been developed through a collaborative, global movement,
evolving and expanding in number since Wendy Brawer
of Modern World Design conceived the first map in 1992.
There are three over-arching categories of Green Map
Icons:
Sustainable
Living icons
map green living, business, technology, design, and
mobility. May also include the hazards and challenges
our community must address.
Nature icons
map places and opportunities to engage with the natural
environment - plants, animals, habitat and landscapes – in
a sustainable way.
Culture & Society icons
map cultural and historical sites, other unique elements
of place, and the resources that promote equity
and involvement in strengthening the sustainability
of our world.

Green Map System
Baltimore Green Map selected 30 of the 160+ Green
Map® icons for our first print map, the Jones
Falls Trail Green Map, to be published in Spring 2008,
and for entry on the Baltimore's test version of
the online My Green Map. As we build out the
information for the on-line map during 2008, we will
gradually expand to include listings for all 48 icons
shown below.
