Visiting QGIS Again

I have not worked with QGIS is some time.   I was called upon to do an analysis of distances between certain clients and institutions and I therefore revisited QGIS.  Several years ago, I made a map with some altitude files (both vector and raster) and this map contains both types of files.  The subway lines are in green are of the vector types and the contours for the Hudson River and New York upper bay are also contour raster files.   The eastern part Staten Island is also shown and is a raster file.   It is interesting that the Bay Ridge Division of the LIRR is also shown.   Some persons want to make this line into a Triborough crosstown line to Co-Op City in the Bronx.  Also is shown next to the West End Line (fourth green line from the right) is a vertical straight line that comes from an uneven edge of an aerial photograph.  This map is not useful but it is interesting to look at and perhaps can be considered a work of art?  The Hudson River depth file comes probably comes from a New York State data source file that I extracted and used many years ago.
