Type Faces

I found the subject of font and type positioning to be somewhat troubling as I set to creating the map of Bike Paths in Buncombe County. I am struggling to find a way in which to cram as much information as would be necessary to create a sufficient map without crowding out the true purpose of the map, which is to convey the location (and possibly the suitability of area bike paths). I will try to post a picture of what my map is looking like tomorrow.
