City poster
Boston map poster
Cow paths turned into streets, and a river to the north.
Boston is the least gridded big city in America. The old peninsula's streets follow shorelines that no longer exist, while the Back Bay was filled and laid out in a tidy Parisian grid.
Shown here in the Autumn theme. Autumn is New England in October, in map form. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 30 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and download it at print resolution.
