San Francisco map poster
A grid laid straight over hills that ignored it.
San Francisco's planners drew a grid and then met the hills. The result is streets that climb at impossible angles, Market Street cutting across at a slant, and water on three sides.
Shown here in the Contrast Zones theme. Contrast Zones shows the density: dense black downtown, lighter and lighter toward the ocean. 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.
